As someone else mentioned maybe increase your inspection interval for this property so that maintenance issue don't pile up and blind side you.

He should be submitted to the same checks that she was so you at least know what you're dealing with if she intends on continuing having him over at regular intervals.

Public knows not to seek nutritional advice from the person working the cash register at Burger King.

After spending over 18 years in the healthcare industry, primarily in Nutrition & Wellness, Quality & Risk Management, Patient Safety and Performance Improvement I've decided to do something a little different.

.-- Make it a point to keep your books on a  1-3-5 days interval, Does not matter if you use QuickBooks or any other software.QuickBooks is a Total Solution for Property Management and Financial Management.Depending on what bells and whistles you are looking for.

Food for thought Justin,Thanks so much for taking time to pass along the intellectual nutrition.

I think every 6 to 8 weeks is a good mailing interval for at least a 6 month period.  

Marc,  Our lease states we cans show the property during the notice interval, and access by the landlord is authorized for showings and inspections.The first step is to visit the property to "preview" it for the marketing, and you can note any big issues that may delay occupancy, and even stress to the residents what they could be docked for.I always tell the residents to protect their valuables because its hard to track other people's children during showings, and the more they cooperate and the faster the house leases, the less time they have to tolerate showings.I've had perfect houses occupied the next day.I've had disasters that need  six weeks to prepare.With this effort and a mid-lease maintenance inspection, there are fewer surprises.

As a result I have had a life long interest in learning about nutrition and maintaining health.
