Normally the tenants understand.If you're having consistent issues with a tenant abusing the HVAC only (if they are abusing other items then it may be helpful to find a new tenant), I know some HVAC companies offer an annual plan with a certain number of visits per year at a flat fee.

It was a balancing act on my end, I had to buy furnishings that were tough enough to keep up with the abuse of my guests, but affordable enough to not break the bank.I have put together a list of items for when I purchase a new STR, and would be glad to send it your way if you want to PM me.

Professional property managers are often licensed real estate brokers who specialize in acting as the filter for you for the number items, which are not only costly but a headache.
