I just watched a BP podcast yesterday with Tony Robinson and Rob Abasolo and one of the topics they discussed was how common last minute bookings on their Joshua Tree and Smoky Mt airbnbs are.

We have lots of Palm trees and Saguaro Cactus and Citrus (Grape Fruit, Oranges, Lemons) & succulents. 

Like a tree that should be trimmed because it could blow over in a storm. 

When I go over the move-in inspection form with the tenants I explain that everything drains and flushes fine at present.I remind them of the lease clause covering that.I explain that it's common sense: that if it's the house's fault (tree roots, old pipes -- then I pay) but if it's their fault (hair, paint, feminine products -- then they pay).Unfortunately most tenants have the attention span and comprehension skills of a gnat so it never fails that I have to call a plumber at least once.As Brian suggests, though, if it's a great tenant I'll cut some slack.

We do not allow smoking anywhere on our premises, whether it is tobacco, marijuana, or moss off the trees, we don't allow it.

Just making sure I'm seeing the forest through the trees. ;)It is an interesting topic though, and I can see some merit to remotely manageable thermostats and water leak notifications.

There are also trees around the lot, which states that if I plan to cut it, I have to plant new, which is fine because I can add it to cost.

The house was built in the 70's and had 2 big trees near the home.

If there are already shrubs and trees we always cut them way back to allow a good view of the house and then come in with fresh mulch.

I told him I would consider holding off on improvements to my building and selling if nothing could be done, however he is scared.This situation is severe - I purchased a thousand dollars of trees to attempt to create some sound buffering and I am having new windows installed.
