Plus I was a victim of some b.s. collection agency reporting me for a $100 "ambulance bill" that I was never notified about until after the fact and it wasn't even a valid bill anyway.There's a lot of shadiness and inaccuracy that happens on people's credit reports. 

I'm having a tough time trying to comprehend how a tenant can pay for their cooking gas, and not their heat.

The gas I know was in the mls listing for around $1300.

That would be an effective way to validate most of the work a turnkey provider claimed to have performed and a good inspector would take pictures of everything.And yes I ask for pictures of every repair job performed.

You could also do something like the lower rent is valid for a two year lease and shorter term leases will have a rent increase of X amount per month.

Are you providing all numbers on tallies, receipts collected and he validate and refine just enter the numbers?

Typically they just look for the names, Legal description, sale price, and ensure that the signatures are all valid.

The one I hear often is to buy gas for your vehicle with it.

I'm a commercial agent in San Antonio and I specialize in retail, which is anything from gas stations and car washes to QSR (Quick Service Restaurant) and STNL (Single Tenant Net Lease) to malls and Target Anchored power centers.

This is costing us about $500 a month plus gas and food for a total of ~$1100.
