New tenants want unit tested for meth drugs
18 June 2024 | 31 replies
I haven't frequented enough meth labs to know, but I assume that there would have been strong evidence of a meth lab on the property.Depending on your area, the tenants may be able to get a copy of the police report.

New member from Boston -- Investing in Spain

Of course I still need to decide which part of the country I plan on investing in (it's possible I'm moving around the country frequently in the first year, so that is making me think about the most ideal location for an initial investment).Once established and with a track record in Spain, I plan on making my first investment here in the US, most likely in the Boston/MA area.In any event, I'm excited to connect and learn from those in this group.If you know anyone with international investment properties or contacts abroad, especially in Spain, I would love to connect!

Every system you try will have flaws, or you may salivate over a feature that appears in other software.Some familiar names are mentioned frequently: Stessa, Apartments.com, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Innago, RentManager, Avail, Rentec Direct, Doorloop, etc.I recommend conducting thorough research on each app online to understand their offerings, pricing, etc.

Everything You Need to Know About AB 2216: Pet Ownership in Rental Housing
13 June 2024 | 3 replies
Landlords worry that the security deposits allowed under the bill will not be sufficient to cover these damages.The presence of pets can lead to higher maintenance costs due to wear and tear, noise complaints, and the need for more frequent and thorough cleaning.Financial Implications: The bill prohibits landlords from charging additional rent or security deposits specifically for pets, which landlords argue is necessary to offset the increased risk and maintenance costs associated with allowing pets.Landlords may need to increase their liability insurance coverage to protect against potential issues arising from having pets on the property, which could lead to higher insurance premiums.Key Provisions of AB 2216No Blanket Pet Bans: Landlords can’t have blanket bans on common household pets without valid reasons.No Extra Charges: Landlords can’t charge extra rent or security deposits for pets.Documentation Requirement: Landlords must provide written documentation if they restrict pets for health or safety reasons.Pet Liability Insurance: The bill might require tenants with pets to have pet liability insurance.As always, I’m here to discuss how this might impact us as property managers and landlords.
