@Matt DevincenzoCanyon Lake, TX.All of the units were rented at some point, but it was a drug infested, no contract situation.

No signs of insects or other infestations.

.:- Early termination: how to let them out of the lease if they wish to move out early- Pets: what will you allow and how you will treat violations)- Pests: how you will handle a pest infestation (if caused by the tenant or otherwise)- Smoking: how you will handle any smoking violations- Maintenance/repairs: how you will handle both standard and emergency maintenance requests. - Move out procedure: what exactly is required of the tenant upon move out (I suggest having them professionally clean the property as well as any carpet and provide you receipts for both.

A tenant in Milwaukee was suing a landlord for a pre-exsting flea infestation prior to their move-in over 15 years ago now.  

To deal with contractors over your septic system repair, squirrels in the attic, and carpenter bee infestations. 

Just bought a place- again, stucco- with definite infestation so had it tented for $1200 (a cottage and a separate laundry house) and then will supposedly be termite free for a while, while paying $250 a year to keep an eye on it and maybe do occasional sprays around the exterior?

What would you do (have you done) in the case of an infestation? 

It was deemed a very mild infestation since we caught it early.

Don't buy a house infested with cockroaches and mice and expect to live in it immediately with any ounce of comfort.

Landscape fabric works great for the first few years, but soil and seeds will quickly  settle in so you'll get weeds eventually.I had a bunch of weed infested rock at my house from a former owner's landscaping experiment.
