We refinished the garage, had some repair work done in the patio room and roof, had some repair work done to the HVAC & replaced the outside condenser unit.

We usually replace AC units (condenser and evaporator) for about $2,500 on an average house in Milwaukee.

I did a DIY mold test on the surface and there are some evidence of mold, which I think is from the condensation during the summer months.

Or could I add a clause that allows me to put up some cell signal security cameras to protect an item like the AC condenser during that time? 

I’m replacing a condenser that’s on the roof top (2 story house).

This is particularly true when using a property management company or undertaking renovations.Property managers will lower their cost of onsite management the more units that you have, even better if they’re in a more condensed area (as opposed to 100 SFHs spread throughout town).
