The Tenant now has the resolve to fall down the stairs and test exactly how strong your lease and insurance is when they claim the landlord's at fault, or disable the fire alarms claiming they haven't worked in months and you did nothing about it, regardless of what your lease says as to who is responsible for maintaining them, god forbid they start an 'accidental' fire and now your insurer is looking to you as to why the smoke alarm was disconnected not wanting to pay out; you may get some of your $ back out after countless court sessions, time wasted and $$$$ for your lawyers to justify it all for you and set it straight, completely cutting hard into whatever investment strategy you may have had. 4 - Just because you put it in a lease, review it with them, have them sign it, have them take a picture with it, get their DNA on it... does NOT make it legal.

I just recently got a text message from my lender stating that we needed to do another appraisal because there was weren't double straps on the water heater and no smoke detectors.

If carpet must be used we use a rental grade in a dark brown color, which helps to hide stains...and just to a carpet clean between tenants.

Replace all smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors?

Until you have restored utilities I would not let tenants back into LIVE in the apartments,, no plumbing,, that's gonna be a big Poop problem, and NO electric,, is gonna be a safety hazard and issue,, no smoke detectors..

This goes for smoking as well!

It turned out kind of nice, and it toned down the fireplace brick.If I were you I might get some general finishes java gel stain and stain the bookcases and mantel dark...unless the kitchen is same woodtone, then no....unless you do the kitchen too.

They do not want the dark value with no tenant value to be less than mortgage balance at end of the primary lease term.You want to look at absorption  and comparable rents for industrial in the area to see how your property stacks up.If you buy at a high cap rate you want to look at the option periods for the current tenant in the lease.

And I would want it at a pretty smoking deal to do that.

She would get drunk, makes a lot of noises, smokes indoor and claimed that she lives in the building.
