That's why we encourage all clients to review their policy documents and send them a Monthly Inventory Report.

If you're going to hire an attorney might as well just start with their lease and not have them review someone else's document.

Document every communication in writing!

As with an STR, so long as you set and document clear expections, it is on the guest or tenant to proceed accordingly. 

Also, many tenants are younger and have limited credit history.

Fellow STR owner/manager from TX.I do think there is value in having some pre guest documentation in the event that you have a guest come in and make false claims about cleanliness, etc. 

So, communication and assignment issues, as well as not being able to explain the maintenance issues and the required work.3) Proper documentation and quality of work issues.

HELOCs are much tricker than a closed end second - they don't typically allow you to close in an LLC and they are full doc qualification, meaning your FICO, employment history, income, DTI etc all come into play.

Document the condition they left it, keep receipts for the charges, and charge it to their card.

Which one do you have the most favorable information on based on their past rental history and not what they say.I suggest using a service like Mayistay.
