I'm not doing STR.But appraised a beach house in Malibu once years ago, the tenant was a big name rock star.He said the maid's here, jumped in his Ferrari and drove off just after I arrived.

The total amount was due 14 days prior to arrival.If they canceled 30 days or more prior to arrival, they would forfeit half their deposit.If they cancel less than 30 days prior to arrival, they forfeit all funds deposited.

You practically need them to have a hammer in their hands hacking away at some object exactly at the same time the police arrive in order to get any where.Otherwise, this is a civil matter and something you will need to take before a judge in small claims court.It seems to me, your lease should allow for remedy?

While you are waiting for someone to arrive with bad credit but a big pile of cash (for the option premium, security deposit, and rent), you will be losing money as you could have rented it out to a normal tenant.

(Singapore makes this even easier with an automatic visa on arrival - unless you are a criminal.)

J Scott's book : The Book on Flipping Houses arrived at my door yesterday.

The first day we arrived at the house, we found one of the secondary bedrooms locked.

Can you please give me an example of some liabilities issues that can arrive by her sister not being on the lease.

Without asking me, the PM said it is okay, so the tenant moved forward with leaving her daughter the keys to the home and wrote a notarized letter stating she is leaving her daughter in charge of her responsibility and possessions in and of the house.The PM told me the neighbor daughter was just some neighbor living across the street, failed to mention the agreement he had with the daughter and the fact that she is actually the tenant's daughter and asked me to go get the keys from her when I arrive at the home.I got angry due to the amount of liability risk involved with this and told the manager he has 24 hours to fix the situation before I send him a lawyer's letter. 

We left a check for the earnest money with our realtor and the contract arrived via email while we were driving.
