If you have to err on the side of being too harsh on the weak (even if it is their own fault) or on the strong, you should pick the latter."

For now, being newer to the space I err on the side of caution and compliance, so I avoid those states that require licenses until and/when I get to the point where I need to focus on getting a license to broaden my portfolio. 

Tank gauges aren't 100% accurate, so I would err on the side of caution and charge the tenant 65% just to ensure fairness.

Last year it was 'just' 842 homes that were double-billed last-minute as much as 62% extra causing a mayhem of erroneous delinquencies through 2022 where the Treasurer recently pocketed millions from quickly selling off tax liens created by the inflated bills  this February.It even billed a tax-exempt Nassau parish erroneously a 2nd year in a row for another half million in property taxes despite their grieving the first year's error, which seems took over a year to finally reverse the bill which added up to over a million dollars in erroneous taxes!

I would err on the conservative side for Maintenance based solely on who your renters will be.
