If they damage your home, or won't leave after a year, you'll wish you had checked them out.Also, in many states, you legally have to escrow that money and only draw down from it as the rent would normally be due.

You have a tenant who has signed the lease, and is responsible for the property and any damages/problems. 

There is risk of damage well over the security deposit of 1 month's rent.

Their old security deposit will cover any damages in the old apartment.

But, the CCR specifically writes that, "No person shall, mar, deface, paint, inscribe, damage or waste any common area.

Airbnb is expected to cover the damages, which are estimated to be more than $50,000."

The tenant gets mad because they didn't get enough of the damage deposit back or the owner gets made because you gave the tenant too much money back.

If the unit is close to needing rehab anyway due to normal wear and tear, then you will get less "fresh" damage by taking a pet in.  

:(Do I need to be concerned that this truck will damage the main sewer line or well pipes?  

Of course, if it's something other than just a simple blockage or there is damage to the line it will cost moreI've never heard the term hydro scrub.
