Thankfully this will now be my building and I will drive past it or have an employee do so to make sure it is up to my standards.

Reading the book (see below) will tell you how, and what to do.I should be able to talk with guy at the big box store for cable size and the like.Some big-box employees will help and some won't.

@Michael Pearse @Dave Foster Thanks for your replies!

I would not give a rent reduction and I would think twice about hiring him as he would then be your employee by federal standards. 

Rowan Uni has manifest destiny going on right now and the college is exploding in both student base and employees which makes the surrounding towns and excellent place to invest.

a) what company pays for their employee's vacations, and b) even if they did, they'd reimburse, not pay up-front.  

They are expecting upwards of 10,000 employees to build the plant over the next 5-7 years.

Lawyers will have a field day with it...discrimination etc etc.Same reason as calling a previous employer about a former employee....they are basically stuck with " I would/would not hire them again" and that's about all they can say without getting sued...and most wont go past "yes they used to work here form date X to date YBest way to combat issues with bad tenant is to screen them aggressively..... especially call their last 2-3 landlords and actually talk to them.

Here is a photo one of my employees sent me yesterday.

@Llewelyn A.Pay for the cell phone from your personal account.Create a simple company policy (in writing, obviously) that the company does not provide cell phones, and employees are required to use their personal phones for company business and will be reimbursed up to $x/month.Issue these monthly reimbursements by transferring money from business to personal account.Deduct them as company expense.If you want to take it one notch up, you can have monthly reimbursement requests submitted to the company.I'd limit this setup to one company, as doing a multi-company split is not worth the hassle.
