Here in Central Illinois if you are updating the majority of the wires they make us hard wire the smokes.

I wanted to put in Central AC & an electric dryer plug.  100amp doesn't have enough juice to run a lot of big electrical things at once.

I would consider a nonrefundable pet fee to be what it costs to make the home ready for a new tenant (shampoo, repairs, air fresheners, whatever) so since it is the same tenant it really hasn't been needed yet. 

I'd like to, but it's a question of what plan I want to pursue in those areas.Just in my central Ohio region, where I can either manage or closely manage managers, there's a volume of maybe $50m/yr in rental sales.

That's what the vents are for is to allow air to pass through and dry out the moisture to keep mold from forming.

Account Closed as a former resident of Bergen county, I paid $6k/year in property tax on a 1/16th of an acre lot and a house with no central AC.  

(In reality, this was a random contract from a lis pendens letter I wrote along with the other hundreds I found on my city's central appraisal property website, but ok bank!!)

If you have an external masonry wall, which is exposed to the conditioned space of the unit, then you have very negligible insulation and a massive thermal conduit between conditioned and unconditioned spaces.You would be doing far better by your future tenants to insulate this wall than worry about loosing 2-3" of living space or the aesthetics of a brick wall.Where this is a masonry wall - first confirm if it is a single wythe or 2 (or possible 3) wythes of brick (with a air gap/drainage plane between the outer wythe and the inner).
