Since there's really not that much left on the lease and you have plenty of warning, you won't have a leg to stand on regarding damages from loss of rent.  

This only works if you have separate meters for the two floors for both the gas and electricity.I think this is a better way to go (for me at least) because you have no control on how the tenants use these utilities and could be capable of leaving lights,AC,TV's Heat etc. on for unnecessary periods of time which in the end could become a large variable cost.   

Who pays for trash removal, street lights?

Once he sent a guy back to our house to replace a light switch cover that was left off after the job was complete.

There are quite a few threads comparing many of the major PMS out there.Hey @Michael Baum, I did but only 5 conversations came up which I thought was a little light. 

There is light at the end of the tunnel.

Nice work @Gary Ennis, light and bright...  

I look many times to Google Streetview and I saw all times, outside lights are on.

I am working on the assumption it's a one-time thing.)Can someone shed some light on the economics here?

I personally wouldnt use laminate in a rental but if i did i would definitly go with the 12mm and a light color because scratches on dark colors show more.
