If they want out of it, you should have a termination clause that allows them to leave but compensates you for the losses or potential losses.

Stop issuing 1099-MISC with box 7 "non-employee compensation" instead of box 1 "rent"Stop including refundable deposits in rent incomeProvide annual reports clearly delineated by propertyLearn the difference between maintenance, repairs and improvements and report accordinglyReport insurance reimbursements separatelyProvide supporting documentation: itemized contractor's invoices, insurance adjusters' reports etc

In partnerships where one party is finding the deal and the other party is doing everything else, the deal finding party is usually compensated with a sort of finder's fee.

Things to consider there would be impact on working capital, uncertainty around 'unknowns' (more risk needs more reward to compensate), and your comfort level and liklihood of a kind of worst case. 

NAR/CAR ethics stipulate 'Seller is Agent' disclosure in writing on the MLS etc at time of listing because even if Seller is not the Listing Agent, licensed seller/owner may expect and/or receive compensation (ie, gift, referral fee, portion of listing agent's compensation, etc).Thus licensed seller is inherently not strictly limited to being a principal in the transaction, so would have had to disclose seller is licensed agent. 

I agree with your heart, but I think in this situation there should be some compensation for letting them out of the lease. 

@Lamont Marable we don't charge people for a scope because we want too, we charge so that we are compensated for our time. 

They offer monetary compensation and mention a 1099 contract.

How/can I compensate the one doing 20-30 hours of labor.

, and then decide whether or not the deferred maintenance can be addressed appropriately to compensate for the risk.
