If they request a hardship stay or a habitability issue they have to post all the money they owe you with the court or their case gets thrown out.  

Not sure how long the batteries last but we usually change yearly when we change batteries in smoke detectors as habit.

I think most of the people that have been harmed don't care at this point are licking their wounds and running to other PM's like yourself.so there will be a new crop of investors who do not get on BP or social media.I got a pm from another one who shared a contract with me on a property in another state that morris is brokering and it was again one of the worst contracts I had ever seen and it was a larger transaction quarter millon.. guy who sent it.. did not know who the seller was contract had NO due diligence clause in it .. no subject to anything.. 10% cash deposit which he did not know where it went..

Rent control has proven time and time again to be harmful to renters.

I know i need to tone it down a bit with the level of content that I produce, but it's just something that I am simply used to doing... and old habits are hard to break...  

It works great and no one is harmed.

We don’t know any PMCs to recommend in the area mentioned, but since selecting the wrong PMC is usually more harmful than selecting a bad tenant, you might want to read our series about “How to Screen a PMC Better than a Tenant”:https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/3094/91877-how-to-screen-a-pmc-better-than-a-tenant-part-1-services-and-processesWe recommend you get management contracts from several PMCs and compare the services they cover and, more importantly, what they each DO NOT cover.

@Erik SchneiderA couple books I liked were:The seven habits of highly effective people.

I know this is out there a bit, but don't I have the right as the owner to enter my own property without fear of physical harm?

I read about a property in Scottsdale I think it was, I'll have to look it up, that the owner said had been treated like a "rock group" in a hotel with the sofa winding up in the kitchen, broken glass everywhere and lots of things missing.Then there is this Parties, prostitution, nudity: Arizona Senate goes after Airbnb and VRBO rentalshttps://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/legi...Booming growth in rentals"Many homeowners across the state testified at legislative hearings because they feel that vacation rentals are harming their neighborhoods.Data from the Denver-based research firm AirDNA shows the Airbnb market has exploded in Arizona during the past five years.In late 2014, Phoenix only had 687 properties for rent listed on Airbnb, and only 245 of them were rented even one night in December of that year.By March of this year, that number had boomed to 4,224 listed properties.Eighty percent of Phoenix Airbnb listings are for the entire home, and the listed properties were filled 83% of the month for an average daily rate of $247 for those renting as an entire home.
