I can just create a contract and pay him monthly after if he agrees correct? 

Over construction of apartments Larger vacancy and inventory for sale5% price drop already in effectI think we are starting to see the beginnings of at least a correction or an inflexion point in certain markets.

I'm assuming the house is furnished being a model home and that the builder is "renting" it for purposes of showing the house to prospective buyers in that development.If the above is correct it's possible the buyers could insure the house as a vacant property.I think an attorney should write up something for both parties to sign showing the builder assumes liability while showing the home.

Thanks Patrick, Jim, Corey, Tony and Dan so much for replying to my post.

@Ann Bellamy Thank you for the quick reply!

Otherwise let sleeping dogs lie.As far as his concerns about only seeing the worst in people he is 100% correct. 10% of tenants are exactly as he describes. 

You can either enforce your lease or let the tenant know that you wont enforce your rules and hope for the best when they break other provisions in the lease....your choice.The middle ground is to let the tenant know that she is in violation of the lease and this is grounds for eviction if the issue is not corrected..... you will not enforce that provision if he goes through the standard tenant screen and is placed on the lease.These are small issues and not worth making a huge issue out of, BUT they set the precedent on how tough you run your properties....are you a pushover or are you someone to not try and take advantage of..... how you approach this situation may have future impact on other things that come up.If this is a good tenant, in a nice property and there aren't any issues, I wouldn't make a big deal out of it, but I would not just ignore the fact that she is breaking a provision in the lease...that gives them the impression that they can do whatever they want

@David Light Thanks for your reply.

First its helpful to get the terms correct.
