I understand that Florida was to get some $850 million of the $25 billion allocated for rental assistance in the December Covid Cares Act (or whatever it was called). 

As far as the lease goes, If you have something that says the resident is responsible for any damages that are a result of neglect or malicious damage then you should be good on that front.

Yes, the bad actors are tarnishing the reputation but there will always be guests (like me) who won't stay in a hotel unless there's no other option.

I obey the law, I treat people honestly and fairly, and I document everything so that bad actors would never be able to prove their case against me. 

Mayor Todd Gloria Wednesday signed into law an ordinance capping short-term vacation rentals at 1% of the city’s housing supply and prioritizing “good actors” in a lottery to determine who gets to offer properties for whole-home vacation rentals.The San Diego City Council passed the ordinance 8-1 on April 6.

I suspect my city has mandated this to prevent bad actors from taking advantage of people. 

If someone told you it was rent ready say someone told you it was rent ready etc....as others have said the industry isn't bad, just has bad actors in it, good to see you don't want to be one of those : ) 

The sepparate line for Vandalism/Malicious Mischief tells me this is a "Named Perils" form. 

I have seen this play many times one sub too deals there are bad actors out there .. they do 10 to 20 of these and its real money.

@Mario AmWell, the sad reality is that the worst actors among the wholesalers have earned themselves a terrible reputation, but the entire community of wholesalers has to pay for it.
