You can adjust it according to your market (8x rent, 11x rent, etc.). 

And on the other end if you need to terminate the lease for whatever reason I again don't believe you would be automatically entitled to this full years rent.

Or is the debt to income ratio adjusted when determining if they qualify.

Originally posted by @Lalaine Hagler:"Is it the Landlord responsibility to change the light bulb"My opinion on the list you posted is:- bathroom sink ceramic paint are coming offYou should have fixed, replaced before move-in- they want the garage door light to stay on after it opens upNot sure if this is adjustable, some are, but I see no problem with them asking- pen marks on the bathroom vanities    You should have fixed, cleaned or replaced before move-in- light bulb needs to be replacedWhat @Gail Kaitschuck said quite well. - nails on the wall      You should have fixed before move-in

Leave the money in a savings account (plus an extra $30 or so), set up automatic payments, and forget about it for a year.

I allowed subletting but not really, my leases required a automatic rent increase to the original tenant of x dollars per day for every day the property is occupied by some one other then the original tenant.

If not, call them out on it & consider an "employment adjustment."

Just go to our home page, click into NYC/Tri-State, and in the search box, adjust the Location Filter to search by City, County or Zip Code.

If they weren't distressed comps then you need to adjust the value of the property accordingly.

Accepting a partial payment in most cases will automatically void the Dispossessory. 6) Never take certified funds from a tenant who is an employee of the place where the certified funds come.
