Andy You don't need to notify the tenants for common areas provided there is no expectation of privacy in those areas, however as another posted, you may still piss someone off so the best practice is to send a message that you will be doing common maintenance work.

Then the Sheriff will post notice and they have 10 days to vacate.

This is my first post and I'm hoping I'm in the right category. 

I didn't post anything yesterday. :)

damn, great post!

I am currently having an issue with my landlord, and when I searched for the answer the bigger pockets forum was the first to show up so I am posting my question from the perspective of the tentant, but also so when I do buy my first rental I have a better understanding of things.With that being said,I live in an SRO.

One of my property managers does not post a PDF copy of the lease with the tenant on my owner portal. 

If you're dead-set on OOS REI, then I'd suggest studying up on the books, articles, forum posts, videos, etc. on the subject, and talking with as many OOS investors as possible (ESPECIALLY inexperienced investors who tried OOS REI for one of their first deals).

I thank each and every member of this community for their posts and information.
