When the stay exceeds 30 days, many municipalities see it as implied month-to-month residency and county/state rent control policies begin to apply along with other local specific rules.

So long as they stay in the property, they may be liable for the reasonable rent based on a theory of implied contract.

If as you implied the first tenant has the place rented through the 31st, it's theirs unless you gave them a credit.As @Joe Splitrock said "clean" when you move in, clean when you move out.If you are moving out one day and moving in the next, pay to have it cleaned the night or afternoon of the 31st.April has 30 days is this May 31st? 

My guess is it is the restraining order which implies physical threat.

She seems to be implying that the landlord is not declaring rental income, which is certainly none of her business.

Section 8 is a better way to go, when done right, I believe, because of implied stable rent payments.

I am a service dog trainer as well as a new investor.

With any dog, I require a "pet assessment" to be done by a qualified/certified dog trainer who can assess whether the dog is well behaved and obeys basic commands.
