The note spells out terms of loan (int rate, late fee, payment schedule , amount etc)The trust deed or mortgage (depending on state) is the document that is recorded with county that encumbers/liens the property and that gives the beneficiary power to foreclose.

Does your lease state that the premises should be kept clean and orderly?

And no dont do pink tiles becasue that is what one person wants for their 7 year old daughter - that is too limiting.genrally people want clean and comfort and ease - so if one item is not going to look clean with usual wear get one that will (usually black shows the dirt, as does stainless) - an as has been said, the inexpensive touch ups like nice hardware, a better countertop finish that wears well are the things you will want - think back to your life as a renter to help.

IMHO anything other than a clean contract negates or nearly negates the premise we are operating under- which is a bird in hand is better than two in the bush.

Dog urine can be cleaned up but cat urine will ruin a house.
