Lastiy, we've built a great community in our building, we all feed each other's pets when we travel, get together once in a while for drinks, etc.Even when I had Sec 8 rentals, I was "the owner".

In my mind, one thing that disqualifies a PM are stupid fees like account set up fees, monthly convenience fees for the tenant to pay online, and where late fees are kept by the PM and pet fees are split 50/50 with the PM.

I've come up with these key features:- Internet (a given)- Washer/dryer- Pet friendly- King bed- EV charging (?)

You pay them 10% (of nightly rate plus any additional cleaning or pet fees) to basically manage your listing and your calendar.

Unfortunately I think you are going to be forced to monitor the situation, hoping for a violation of the lease, the usual suspects being Pets, Marijuana (not even sure that will work anymore since it is legal), and "use of property as a business" when she is working from home and the lease is residential only.   

Consider all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

I also should have mentioned that I charge a $300 non refundable pet fee per pet as well.

So i took the rent and applied it to the deposit and the pet fee.

Pets, smoking, early termination, property maintenance, criminal actions, etc should all be considered.

Most people wanted retireries and no children or one child but no pets.
