With real estate, be sure to know the prohibited transactions and to avoid them! 

Since dual agency is prohibited in FL, I will transition to a transaction broker that will represent the transaction (i.e. limited confidentiality to the buyer and seller).5.

The Iowa Supreme Court also recently classified this practice as a prohibited provision under code 562A.11 and has required the named landlord company to pay back their current and former tenants.Search “Caruso versus Apts Downtown” to see the Iowa Supreme Court Ruling from May 2016 and related press.I also think it is worth mentioning that these prohibited provisions apply not just to carpet cleaning but any flat fees in the form of additional rent or withholding security deposits.

Now, they are very strict and prohibit operating a non-owner occupied STR.
