I figure that if there's a dispute over charges to the tenant's deposit later on, the certified letter as well as earlier emails on the subject would satisfy a judge that the tenant had delayed submitting the checklist long enough to undermine its validity.The tenant's delay then actually would seem to work to the advantage of the landlord.

True investors never ever stop.I'm 22 and my eyes just opened up to the world of REI about a month ago and since then read as many books as I could get access to ranging from thinking like an investor, real estate, land-lording, accounting, law, taxes, marketing, negotiating... coming across BP was just the icing on the cake and overwhelmed me of the wealth of information that was on here to add to my arsenal.

One of the people I met at a recent landlording class I took, used it to buy is second multifamily.

However, I took another job that I liked doing much more than pure landlording - working here at BiggerPockets!

.:- Perhaps some concerns about tenants putting money into the property and somehow getting some vested interest in the property..That would be my only concern, and I would consult an attorney about it.If all is well, I would have the tenant sign an agreement stating that landlord is not responsible for cost of upgrade, nor will reimbursement be given in any form.

I'm primarily a buy and hold investor/landlord but am working on my first flip.I'm still a novice to this Real Estate game but the time has come to ramp it up and get busy.

I've never paid a landlord late, either.

If he says no......no problem, remember he is a landlord which may mean he has cash to buy properties.

That means this property is likely to go to a landlord.

I personally prefer NH because of the landlord laws, but if you manage property as a job, you already know exactly what you're getting into.
