@James Galla
Agreed. This business is about making money. Nothing more, nothing less.
Is it discriminatory to say “ NO “ though?

Would you ever "Re-Rent" Your property to an unfavorable ex tenant?
- Have a tenant from a few months ago ( did not renew her lease, because he was severely hoarding and causing damages )
- He has the courage and confidence to ask if she can rent from us again.... lollll How do we kindly say "no way bud "

- Normal wear and tear is something I have trouble defining, I often have to pay 300-900.00 to get the home "rental Ready " again.
- Have you EVER held onto a full deposit? Can you explain the context and situation

You got something, you got an opportunity to rent a home

@Charlie Moore - I've started switching to Move in fees. We do half of a normal security deposit. People seem to like it once we explain the reasoning behind it.
Now we're learning about Surerty bonds, and will be coupling the two. That should give us all the benefits of the added income from the fee, as well as the protection from the bond.
Awesome!
How do you explain it when tenants ask about it? The fee?
I could really use this advice!

Worried about disputes at end of tenancy! And having to put it in a bank and pay interest rubs me incredibly the wrong way
