Keyed on outside and always unlocked on inside. door handle will always require a key to open the door and cannot be left unlocked (at least my understanding). duplicate and issue to all tenants.

The key where most newbies make a mistake is paying to  much in the original contract.

@Dmitriy Fomichenko,Thanks for the welcome and the link to key BP resources. 

It was the concept of Cash for Keys, which basically meant to offer the tenant X amount of cash to pack up and leave by a certain date. 

CA laws state that keys must be returned to the landlord or the landlord can have the locks re-keyed and deduct the expense from the deposit.

A local attorney who focuses on real estate is going to be key for you.

And to calculate allocations to this exactitude, the $10.00 fee is justified.So the key is how the lease is worded regarding utilities and any local regulations.I myself have a paranoid co-worker.

Third, if you are new to real estate I would highly recommend three keys things:1.

Education is key!

I'm looking for a real estate attorney who can support me with an issue with a turn key provider in Baltimore, MD.
