It does not make sense for you to paid the full month's rent when you are not allow to live there for half of the month potentially and who is insuring your personal items within the apartment in the case of a collapse?

With some tweaks that tie it to a news or opinion item, I am sure this will run.

@Derek Gibbs there are a few line items that need further investigating - taxes, lawn care seems high but there isn't much info on the physical property.

If those are your only 4 line items (insurance, tax, water, electricity) on your pro forma then I would take a step back and reevaluate.

There are several important items that every investor-owner should consider in leasinghis unit.

Usually not providing those items indicates that the buyer is not serious. 

Focusing on a few items provides clarity and brings a sense of purposes. 

The seasoned pros "must" have some go to items they purchase over and over.

2) Out of these items, which are the most important to push to get addressed:- Ceilings have minor cracks in them and seller doesn't want to address this...not ideal but should I push on this?  

I see no need to spell out each item individually in an agreement.
