For example, a $1000 fine for using the elevator to move furniture would be completely unreasonable in a unit where prices are $150,000.

The property wasn't underwritten, the homeowner saw money signs instead of reality, the market and guest avatar weren't researched, and good chance the furniture and decor were 15-20+ years old.

Give them a day one which it is going to be done and tell them the floor needs to be clean and all the furniture removed from it-plus they can't walk on it for a set period of time until the floor is dry-probably a day or two.I'd also make sure you increase their rent because my guess is when it comes to replacing the floor AFTER they move out, you aren't going to recoup what you expect from them. 

Can we have tall furniture that functions as a closet if the room doesn't have a built in closet? 

I removed popcorn ceilings, painted all walls (inside and out), replaced and changed out light fixtures (inside and outside), furnished the entire home, and created a fun outdoor space (fire pit, grill, picnic area, outdoor games - including wiffle ball!).

Some of the things that have happened during the last 7 years of running STRS, loose deck boards, rotten outdoor steps, broken interior hand rail mounts, loose electrical outlet...Any of those could cause a major accident so they were repaired asap.

@Arwin Nassiri for condo hotels ypu have to pay every time they replace furniture to suit the new style or image, not to mention wear and tear.

I'm running my numbers with a furniture budget so this is a possible direction. 

I'm still doing market research and can't decide what would be a less riskier option for me, is it better to find a property in a vacation destination that's more rural and outdoors or a property in a more urban/metro area?

If you are looking at apartments, space is the premium, but light is important as well if you don't have dedicated outdoor space (balcony).
