Start by formalizing the transition—create a lease agreement and maintain detailed records of rental income and expenses.

Property is occupied but lease renewal is this month.

Current situation I have a primary residence in MA and a SFH home LTR in Akron currently on a 1 year lease.

My realtor at ReMax said they still charge non-refundable pet fees which is states on their leases. 

I usually assume it will take 60-days to lease up.

So a loss of about 55k We did a lease to own option so I could immediately take over expenses but keep their primary resident loan and interest rate.We agreed to a deal which would cover all their expenses at closing, their remaining loan balance, and $45,000.

Generally speaking, with SFR or small multis, I just rely on the lease/rent roll (and some form of proof of payment; i.e. bank statements, deposit receipts, tax returns, etc.). 

Every state has different laws regarding a notice to terminate/non renewal of lease.

Leases in place: 2 apt Leases will expire in 2026.
