@Romain Ndoutoume thank you so much for this recommendation!

@Matt Jones - sure, please do share!

Happens to us as well. In these situations, if everything else checks out, the applicant's approval would be contingent on them paying a double security deposit to mitigate our risks.

@Casey Oleynikov thank you for the idea!

I've been using BoxBrownie for several years for virtual staging but noticed their quality got worse lately. I'm tired of asking them for corrections and want to find a replacement. Can anyone recommend a good alternative?

Thanks!

@JD Martin, thank you for the input, wise as always. And yes, the property has been under lawn service contract for years, including the last year when then moved in.

@Ryan Spath, thank you. I must've misunderstood. We do have early termination clause in our leases. For some reason I thought you were talking about a clause addressing specifically early termination due to home purchase. Thanks again!

@Ryan Spath could you possibly share your buyout clause? I've never heard of it in lease agreements, and most of our tenants buy their own home once done renting.

@Theresa Harris we only have 5 treatments a year (fertilizing and weed control), nothing close to an overkill. And this specific property has some stubborn weeds, so the lawn care program is a necessity to keep this lawn looking nice. But yes, as mentioned, I plan to call the lawn company about possible alternatives. 

@Ryan Spath yes, I immediately inform the tenants as soon as I get a notification from the lawn company about upcoming visits. And nothing gets sprayed on decks for sure. Again, the green residue they saw is our famous GA pollen. It's everywhere this time of the year and lasts until mid-May. But I do like your idea of giving them a chance to self-care and if I see weeds, to bring back the service. That might be a good compromise. Thank you!

Allowing weeds to take over the lawn is not an option - our properties are well kept and need to stay as such.
