Some landlords may prefer the inherited tenant to have a lease agreement though so there's some assurance (in theory) that you'll have a tenant in place from day one that's obligated to stay for a set period of time. 

This is beneficial to me for him to stay and pay till that time noted due to the terms of my deal and I would be rehab and flip property after tenant is out of picture.

The tub stayed as it was in good shape, the vanity was on sale and the tile I got for $0.49/SF, which anytime I find something decent at that cheap of a price, I buy them out of stock!

The coworking places stay in business because they lease small-medium sized offices.

We are doing it at our house and staying pretty booked so far. 

Ideally, long-term, I'd like to stay involved with real estate investing - just not sure that this property is right for a long term rental property.  

The bill stays with the property.5.

I explained everything to them, it sounded like they are willing to go legal, I bailed out as I did not have appetite, so I let them go.Learnt two lessons (1) re work on my lease contract and make it fool proof (2) build network with fellow investors in the neighborhood to guide this rookie :)@ronald Rohde, Bart Hedgecock - can I use TAR without paying top dollars to leasing agent or Attorney?
