Hey @Jay Hinrichs    And @David KrulacI'm so glad you guys were able to heal from your pain but I'm still in a body cast here and it hurts like hell.....and itches, but I can still smile for you. :)

Doing a tenant turnover.Account Closed Thanks, we feel you can cast a wide net and get minnows are harpoon to get abigger fish.

You cast aspersions on an entire profession by claiming that PM's rip people off by charging unnecessary maintenance fee's using the "dreaded emergency clause" as you put it. 

This was covered in one of the earlier pod casts as well.

Read here on BP, listen to the pod casts, and join a local REIA group.

If I am certain that it isn't my problem (ie collapsed drain line or corroded and scaled cast iron) then I pay for the first unclog on a drain and the tenant pays for subsequent unclogs of that same drain.

Anyway you can consider casting a wider net?

if its an older home with cast iron soil pipe the soil pipe flange was leaded in and they can deteriate over time and fail. 

Of course, when the issue is raised by a local government it's never cast in those terms (i.e. they don't come out and say they're cracking down on AirBnB in order to appease the hotel industry).  

The usual routine and the usual cast of characters, having to quickly make assessments and figure out who might be acceptable as a tenant on behavioral grounds if the application was financially strong.
