Hopefully I'm not too naïve to think we can vet the renters, put specific family and neighbor friendly language in our listings, and put protections in place (noise detectors, people counters, etc.) to shutdown problem renters immediately.

Built into televisions, laptops, Alexa, Google and Apple devices, not to mention a slew of "spy" cameras designed to look like ordinary household items (water bottles, phone chargers, clocks, smoke detectors, shower heads, and even teddy bears).

For example, here's a short list of things we'll be looking to update while living in the unit:- Clogged upstairs bathroom drain-Need bathroom fan- Bathtub porcelain chipped- Broken balcony door- Broken kitchen window- Missing smoke detectors- Redo kitchen floors- Refinish living room floors- Paint in all rooms- Improve kitchen cabinetsWe don't have a specific $$ budget, but we're always looking to keep costs low while providing quality.

The inspector missed that there was a window pane that was entirely unsealed and that none of the smoke detectors had dates written on them and that 4 of the 7 (long story as to why there's 7--the fire code changed) were dead. 

It can be smoke detectors and CO, handrails, there's a lot of issues that could come up.

@Alex ReamonPut a lock on the door and show him where all of your carbon monoxide detectors are.

repaied by 9/13 for township re-inspection and not my inspector with previously anticipated closing date 9/14: - furnace repair- *electric repair- *basement smoke detectors replaced- *2nd floor bedroom battery for smoke detectorHowever, the local U&R requirement is just for safe occupancy and certainly not to the standards of this house at the time of sales agreement (house was agreed to over asking, AND above market value locally due to its great condition prior to the flood), and PA Agreement of Sales specifically states ("home must be in condition when it was agreed to").I have had numerous emails/info exchanged with my lawyer now.Any recommendation, pointers, insights?

We have gone towards replacing the smoke detectors with 10 year life battery smoke detectors.

Hi Rodneisha,Damaged door and stolen Blinds (you have been robbed by a strong interior decorator)...Better than stolen furnace, hot water heater and copper pipes.Maybe put a steel security door on the rear (and front) to make the new renters feel more safe, as well as motion detector flood lights way up high on the house in the back.https://www.youtube.com/watch?

However, prior to signing the applicant came back with a list of requests such as maintenance using battery operated tools due to utility cost concerns, installing motion detectors, rental insurance not covering fires, tree falling ?!????
