They also handle returning the security deposit to the clients once my cleaner calls them to let them know if there are any problems.One thing that is nice with this is that they encouraged me to go from a week minimum to a 3 night minimum since that increases the probability of finding clients and at the beginning I need to get some reviews.

They were written to control or eliminate opportunity for those that practice screwing the consumer and to encourage people to do business with financially well healed contractors rather than do business with contractors that operate being under capitalized which again creates motive and opportunity for a consumer to expose themselves to higher risks.Now is it better for me as a contractor to make things more convenient for me  so I can operate more economically and efficiently while reducing my risks by making sure I get paid every step of the way and my time is used more effectively for me, of course.

If that is your biggest faux pas in being a landlord you're doing great 😊 Thanks for the encouragement.
