Dedicated deposit account (law in my state, most states)2.

I have changed the deadbolts to QwikLock SmartKey with the option to enter a numerical code, use an online platform for all leases, tenant credit checks, maintenance requests, rent and deposit payment, etc., will set up a virtual open house time frame to have tenants FaceTime/Zoom with me to do the walkthrough.

I also had a question about the deposits.

That is all I want my software to do.So, I develop all my own software for all my businesses and I do not use one canned piece of crap.For those who don't know how to develop software applications all you need is Excel with a few columns e.g. one column for:Payee and deposits DateCheck #Reason (Category)DebitCreditBalanceand that is all you need.

@Pat Leri Depending on your state's laws, you usually have 3 business days to deposit the earnest money.

There are currently some holes in the drywall that will need to be fixed, so should I charge the tenant for that damage and withhold it from their deposit when they move out? 

He explains later that he likes listening to ideas that don't match his own.  

I wanted the door hinges and door knobs to all match and be brushed nickel.

Of course there are several metrics and parameters we match but wanted to know if anyone had any great ideas of where to look.

My tenants of 4 years are moving out and they showed me a hole in the carpetThe carpet is kinda old and I think it was normal wear not anything they did wrongTenants are expecting to pay for it out of their deposit but I don’t think they should.
