Some parking lots may get 2 , 3 or even 4 separate plowings .

If your other utilities are not separately metered then you could be losing a lot more.

Well, let's separate fact from fiction.

The conversion would be rather easy as all that was done was in the house conversion was tearing out separator wall, extra kitchen converted to utility room and extra front door filled in.

The good news is that the two units are metered separate for gas and electricity.

Vet the guarantor the same as you would the tenant and either ask them to co-sign the lease or execute (which would technically make them a tenant, unless you lease has built-in support for a guarantor) a separate guarantee of the tenant's obligations. ... or move on to the next applicant.

. :)Oh, forgot, I never loved a property to much that money would not separate us.

the lease states no parking comes with the rental, but I have issued separate written 'policy' stating one vehicle, no maintenance, etc.
