It is important to maintain the property so your best plan would be to spread the cost over a extended period of time.

It's often cheaper and less annoying to install and maintain than recessed lighting.

If a property is zoned as cmx-1 does that property have to maintain a business operation on the first floor?

Like Joshua Martin said, there are fees to maintain your license and park it with a broker.

I know I don't like my advice either, wish I had something else to give you.Since you want to maintain the deposit you have the burden of proof.

A good old lock box doesn't use batteries so less things to maintain or fail.I use the Honeywell RTH 9580 wifi thermostats.

Now the property owner intends to develop some new homes and is realizing if they go rip up the improvements they could force the prescriptive easement claim.My advise would be to get your survey now (even if it does cost several thousand), and remove the encroachments or make them yours i.e. take ownership and maintain them....erect a new fence to create a boundary that shows your vs. her property something.

I personally love the online version and works great for what I need, but I would ask myself:- What system fits my personality best such that I will maintain it? 

@Wendy Smith,The generic answer to your question is that ANY business entity is vulnerable if it is not maintained per the basic requirements.
