What's the legal timeframe allowed for informing the tenant?

Your safest option is to insist in the standard 12 month renewal and make sure they fully understand their legal/financial responsibilities if they break the lease.It may be standard for wealthy tenant's in A++ properties to attempt to negotiate their lease but that does not fly in my blue collar world.If they decide to leave you will be farther ahead even with the turn over costs.

Some will have it in the legal stuffs that you either have to pay them for the rest of the agreed management term, or will charge a fee for "cancelling".

I believe rehab loans have more restrictions than I am interested in.

--So long as it is legal, an above-standard security deposit.

Make sure you get everything in writing and have a legal professional review the contract.

I don't think this tenant can claim "service dog" and get away with it legally. 

Looking for recommendation for legal and accountant advisement for a lot we are looking to acquire and develop in Laconia/Meredith area.

I know its not the "legally correct " answer but if its junk I might just get a dumpster.
