Hi BP community,

Is anyone charging a non refundable cleaning fee at end of lease or taking one out of the deposit? I am thinking of writing one into my lease. That way at the end of the lease I can line someone up ahead of time to come and clean to our standards instead of scrambling to find someone last minute if the apartment is left dirty (we usually have one day turnover). I currently provide the tenants who are moving out with a cleaning checklist and settlement charges for items left dirty. Even with high fees for cleaning, tenants still don't thoroughly clean. Most don't own vacuum or even a broom!!! Not only that, but they sometimes use the wrong products and end up ruining surfaces. With a cleaning fee, all they have to worry about is getting their stuff out by set time. Anyone have advice?

Great tip! Didn't think of that. Thank you Jeff!

Hi BP,

Anyone renting out unused garage space for storage?? What kind of rates are you getting? Would anyone be willing to share a Storage Rental Agreement? I have a two space garage and had someone approach me about renting it. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I just got our taxes done. Capex is anything over $2500. It used to be $500 or more but they just changed to $2500.

Just booked everything. Going to be an awesome few days. Looking forward to meeting you all!!

We paid a set up fee and now get charged a set monthly fee per property. Another charge is for rent processing per property depending on number of tenants paying rent online. You would have to get a quote based on your portfolio. I would suggest signing up for a demo. That way you can get all your questions answered. 

We use Entrata and love it! I am an owner manager and liked this one the best out of all the ones I researched online. Entrata seemed to be the most modern and always evolving. They have all the feautures you mentioned and then some. Customer support is wonderful too!

You can also go on Craigslist and see if there is anything similar to your property for rent nearby.
