Central A/C is damaged beyond repair and needed to be replaced, which can't be done economically or with coopperation of the HOA and other neiighboring owners.

Houfy now has a damage protection plan that costs the guests $5 a night and does light identity screening through SuperHog. 

They offer a $10K repair fund to fix damages in addition to SD plus warranty for appliance repair etc.I have no say in whom they choose to move in, whether there are animals, limit on # of occupants etc. they reserve right to inspect property so i have no idea if they can tell me to remodel, paint etc.does this make sense i have a vacancy coming up in October (bad rental timing).

I would have contacted the locksmith tech to get additional details before assuming it was tenant damage.

The contractor I hired finished the Foundation work in 4 weeks and tenant started reporting damages, thefts to items in Garage which contractor denied.

Then do a thorough research on tenant applicants (note: leaving this to a PM may be hazardous to your financial health) and choose the one that is most “stable” with the best potential for long term tenancy.This advice is contrary to maximization of rental income, but IMO will reduce expenses of tenant turnover, property damage, property management fees so much that the difference in bottom line income will be quite small.  

  $7k damage. 

You are allowed to charge for ALL damages beyond ordinary wear-and-tear.

The property was impacted by hurricane Helene and there is no substantial damages letter issued (yet?)
