The kitchen counter laminate was also very dated looking. 

Then you should be able to narrow it down to a closer date afterwards.

Taste and style changes more frequently in these areas, so they feel dated faster.  

The idea is they want to add more long term rentals to the market to help with affordability.The mid-term market is interesting but then you are covering utilities, internet, etc.

Actually, I do have a close date.

Stay up to date on all licenses and permits that may be required. 

All of my TVs have "guest mode" that prompts the guest to enter their check-out date.

Placed in service date is when units were available to be rented.

My question is: Is this house better off being rented long term for tenants or should I gravitate toward a midterm rental for possible traveling nurses or traveling professionals who want a cleaner, more up to date space, closer to downtown?

As an incentive for her to pay on time, can I charge her a late fee after 5 days from the due date and can I charge her for every day she's late?
