Do not even charge the security deposit because the rules/requirements and penalties associated with it is so damaging (treble damages).

If you're worried about the cost associated with it, either you are being short sighted or the deal doesn't work if you can't afford the $2500-5000  Just my thoughts. 

Anybody have a case study of a situation of a similar situation where a substantial number of homes were damaged due to flood or natural disaster and the associated real estate market reaction?

All real estate agents log into a subdomain of MLSListings (pro.mlslistings.com) to enter and access listing information.The Silicon Valley Association of Realtors (SILVAR), Santa Clara County Association of Realtors (SCCAOR), and the San Mateo Association of Realtors (SAMCAR) control who has access to enter listing information into the multiple listing service and by setting standards of conduct, regulate real estate agents.

Hi, I just recently got my Tennessee real estate broker's license and primarily do business in Georgia & South Carolina where the GA & SC Association of Realtors provides members a ton of standard pre-printed contracts, including a Residential Property Management Agreement that is to be signed by the homeowner and broker.
