In a larger MF environment it might be a bit different with shared spaces and such... but for SF and small multi, it doesn’t seem to be needed (in my opinion).

The problem I see with deploying vast amounts of modular single family or 2-4 unit housing is that it doesn't make for quality built environment.

A typical trip out at sea is 3-4 weeks if fishing for tuna and 4+ weeks when fishing for swordfish.

@Jason Seward as many stayed, vinyl planking hold up better to spills , less worries in rental environments.

Become a big fish in a small pond before finding a new pond to fish in.There's more than enough deals here for us all.

It’s much better to teach a man to fish than hand him a fish.

Nor would I claim to say what was or was not legal without knowing what the laws are in every state, and how individuals are operating in all of those different operating environments.

You are about to find out that repairs from bad tenants are far more expensive then missing a couple of months rent due to vacancy.I would not pay the $600 if for no other reason than they are clearly training you to be the landlord they want rather than you training them to be the tenants you want.Your goal is to provide a quality living environment relative to the rent being charged and then require the tenants to take care of your property.It sounds like you either provided crappy property to crappy people or you provided a good property to crappy people and have failed to hold them accountable to your expectations.Boot 'em, take the financial hit to get rent ready, learn from this experience, and move on.

The more lines you have out the more fish you will catch.
