Paint protect those siding from water damage.

It's in your best interests as the property owner to have enough working combination smoke/CO detectors to protect the property (let alone the people living there). 

He will chime in say what he did and you will chime back that the work was good (if it was) and you are now happy.If you have a warranty they are going to service, I would for sure do what I had to do to protect my 25 (or 22K) investment.  

Read up on the TCPA (Telephone Consumer Protection Act), which imposes fines ranging from $500 to $1,500 PER TEXT MESSAGE. 

Thank you in advance for your time and expertise! 

Thank you Ronald, adding that contingency is a great idea to protect myself if I can't find a tenant.

Awesome, thanks @Robert Rainey for your expertise and insight.

@Evan SwansonThe question is should you have a business entity for an owner-occupied property.Will you lose your homestead exemption if the property is moved to an entity.Will you be legally protected if something were to go wrong, most entities protect business assets but an owner-occupied property is also a personal asset.Speak with an attorney.

If it is, what can I do in future to protect myself from this?

You will always benefit from having expertise on your team.
