If she insists on a penalty for breaking the lease make sure you insist on proper notice when she comes over, including mowing the lawn.

Or you are insisting that the PM get a price that's not realistic.I can't help but chuckle when someone says they are having trouble with getting a unit rented, but their PM is really good, or their tenant is really good, but they can't get them to pay the rent."

If the tenant doesn't agree to a break fee, and they break the lease, in FL, the landlord can then actually choose not to take possession of the property, and insist the tenant keeps paying rent until the lease is up.  

Then the criminal and eviction reports definitely still need to be run on the tenant.To keep payments consistent and timely, insist on auto debit from their checking account, or ideally their parents checking account.  

IF you are uncomfortable taking responsibility tell your tenant you always serve papers because your lawyer, accountant, or partner insists on it.The thing to keep in mind when training tenants is there is no reason, no excuse and no justification for late payments.

Insist one rent being paid in full on time every time.

HOWEVER - as mentioned above, many parks insist that the residence own or are buying their unit.

But, the reason I'd require it, would be to insist on that loss of use rider and their personal property coverage, so when they look at me in fear and I say, "No, we don't pay for that," before they can start crying, I can then say, "But, that insurance you got WILL pay for it."

I even emailed applications to a few people because they wouldn't be able to make it back to the area and wanted to drop it off at the open house....no shows.I am SO GLAD I did not try and raise the rent like someone kept insisting I did because I did not "know the market".

We request an inspection contingent deposit but the seller insisted an as-is offer.
