Considering the more lenient US laws compared to the UK in contracting.Again, thank you so much for your reply, perhaps we can connect and see out opportunities in the future!

@Robert Lum  you bet you can troll around a site like BP read their books listen to the pod cast of those that are successful and talk about their business's.. its inspiring and motivational.but if you really want to learn the nuts and bolts you need to get in the game.the best and least expensive way to do that is to simply take a pre license course in your state.. learn the laws ( the real laws not the BS that is talk about on line).. terminology etc. then go to work with a brokerage in the aspect of Real estate that interest  you.. there you will get REAL training by those that are successful you get on a team.. you get paid as you learn.

If you don't want them in your property, you don't have to renew the lease.Reason for non-renewal: habitual late payments.Don't know Maryland's laws, but make sure you have prior documentation for notices given to them for the late payment.

Would love to connect, within Pittsburgh I was looking into this area but I was unfamiliar with some of the laws when it came to Landlords and Section 8.

These carriers are not profitable in CA and CA laws and regulations do not make it easy to mitigate these financial struggles. 

Otherwise, you could also provide prevention recommendations somewhere on the lease that includes what you've mentioned above.Assuming you don't have a lawyer to help with your rental agreement you can find some sample clauses on a site such as Law Insider.

*The big asterisk on this entire statement. be aware many States have bedbug laws on the books now requiring the LL inspect and treat if there is an issue.
