Even so, I would create an addendum to the lease that indicates that the tenant is responsible for maintaining the equipment, paying the monitoring fee and uninstalling it when they vacate.

And create letters and forms and mail them out....on and on.And there will be meetings on how to manage all of the above, and who will be supervising the person(s) who handle the calls and the paperwork and the people who come in person....Honestly, having a city inspector would be easier to manage, than having who knows how many independent inspectors who will also probably have to be credentialed in some way, which would have to be monitored and filed.And how do they handle disputes?  

Rents and lease will be in the name of the company The tenants are monitored daily and also have a gps bracelet.

Oh my gosh Joe I was going to go off on you... thank you for not putting her down...here they have started a local program to monitor feral cat colonies...how that will work I do not know...also I think it is illegal to shoot bobcats...but I understand about being scared of giant raccoon's they killed my neighbors old cat so agree with the clause

3) does your PM contract explicitly state that they are authorized and expected to monitor utility usage and payment by the tenant?

They're otherwise not required to counsel you or monitor you regarding your tax withholding.It's not illegal. 

We are moving to electronic locks which can be accessed via our in-house monitoring system.  

As much as I hate stepping in dog poop, all this high tech monitoring of everyone's daily lives is getting out of hand.

The truth is, it would be really hard to tell if your tenant is keeping a gun, unless you monitor them like a hawk, or go through their things. 

We had a tenant who was arrested, jailed, convicted, and then released with a police ankle monitor.
