Tell them you don't do partial months but they'll retain possession until the end of the month if they want to take their time moving.

Common fees will include a set-up fee, a leasing fee for each turnover or a lease renewal fee, marking up maintenance, retaining late fees, and more.

Thanks @Dan Heuschele, yes this is what I was referring to, thanks for elaborating, I should have mentioned the reason, I just assume people know why :-)We all know that most people will not do the annual descaling (and it has to be done by a licensed plumber with a receipt retained as proof), any more than people drain their tanked water heaters 🤣I can't see any plus to using tankless heaters.....except they have a much smaller footprint, which might be needed in some builds.

@Albert Johnson easy--you retain the cost of fixing the problem out of the tenant's deposit, and send the tenant an itemized report showing exactly how much it cost to fix the problem (and abide by any other local laws/regs regarding deposit retentions and refunds).This is what the deposit is for!

Did they ask for a retainer in exchange for an exclusive listing agreement when/if a house a house that was in pre foreclosure actually went through foreclosure?

However, many of those properties are actually on ground leases, so its very rare that the shopping center owner is willing to parcel off a pad and cell it, more often than not they are retaining the dirt and the restaurant is leasing the dirt (generally $100K-$180K annually from most markets I operate in) and then the business builds the building and when they leave the LL gets to keep it and lease it to another tenant. 

If privacy is an issue you could get a fogged window so no one can see in and you still retain the natural light which will make the place feel more open.

We build for a discounted rate on a retainer based model.

But I suspect in most cases, when the heirs can’t pay the taxes, they can’t pay 50k+ upfront for retainers for the lawyers to challenge the sale.

In case you ever want to make a change you want to retain the rights to the listing with all the reviews.
