I did add a minimum of four recessed lights to each room as well as track lights dome lights pendant lights and hanging center piece lights, as well as smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, for this I had to spend some time in the attic anyway.

Originally posted by @Suzanne Player:Maybe these things (HVAC/AC filter changes & granite re-sealing, testing smoke alarms) should all get done by the landlord together at the same time. 

I just got under contract for a seeming smoking  deal in an incredible location on South Hill, Spokane next to Manito Park.

Sorry man, this lacks any foundation for a sound REI endorsement IMO.Don't blow smoke if you want any credibility.

Non smoking tenants (smokers often break the rules and sneak a smoke inside) no candles and knowledge of electrical appliances throughout the house hugely diminishes risk. 

Obviously this would require non-smoking, quiet and amiable tenants. 

:) its the UBER app for private jets... one time 15k fee .. then you get on the app and you get to fly on their transcon G 4 flights from LA SF LV to JFK  Miami Chicago.. plus all sorts of pop up flights . if you want to bring your spouse or significant other its only 3,500 to 5k one way.. so for 10k the two of you can fly in a G 4 round trip coast to coast.. that is a smoking deal.  

Please consult with your own attorney for legal advice.Because you state you are in CA, I assume your rental is also in CA and that the rental is a dwelling unit for the tenant.If you (1) notified the tenant in writing of the tenant’s option to request an initial inspection and of the tenant’s right to be present at the inspection, and (2) if the tenant requested an initial inspection, and (3) if the inspection occurred, and (4) if at the inspection you gave the tenant a written itemized statement specifying repairs or cleanings that you proposed to be the basis of any deductions from the security the landlord intends to make (and all statutory notices), and (5) if the tenant had the opportunity during the period following the initial inspection to remedy the identified deficiencies, in order to avoid deductions from the security, and (6) if the tenant did not remedy the deficiencies identified in the itemized statement, then, you may withhold from the security deposit sufficient amounts to pay for damages including damage from smoking.

It’s sounds like you’re familiar with the area but I’ll give you (and other investors) the run down anyway …Summer time is better than winter, assuming no forest fires/smoke.

@Karthik Cherukuri the ENTIRE Austin metro is smoking hot - north, south, east, and west.
