□ If checked ‭ Property is intended to be rented or occupied beyond closing, the fact and terms thereof shall be stated herein, and the tenant(s) shall be disclosed pursuant to Paragraph XXII.VI.TERMITES: The Buyer may have, including but not limited to, all accessible areas of the main building and any attached structures as well as all detached structures inspected at Buyer's expense by a certified pest control operator to determine whether there is any visible active termite infestation or visible existing damage from termite infestation in the improvements.

Being fixed incorrectly is usually more expensive than having to fix a problem.The reason is I have to go in and UNDO a problem versus updating it.I liken it to when I worked on car audio.A guy comes in and I replace a radio that hasn't been touched.Test the wires and install.Another guy comes in and says radio needs work and I had it worked on but it's not working correctly.Go in and pull out 2 bags worth of wires running everywhere and takes me 3 times longer to fix.Does the place have a rodent infestation??

I've been in flea infestations and have a very bad reaction now when fleas show up.

Lease also says all pests are tenants responsibility.

The seller advised me of issues she had been having with the tenant including having more pets than allowed which resulted in a flea infestation of the entire building.

DAY 1: We go looking at properties: we saw 3 properties.The first one had the signs (and smells) of a rodent infestation in the basement and the upper unit was in need of complete rehab.

Heck, lots of people move because they are living in a bed bug infested building and want to escape, not realizing that they are bringing the bed bugs with them when they move; this is another aspect that the Philadelphia law fails to recognize.

I've done door to door for 3 pest control companies.

Utilities, taxes (property, local vacation, & income), landscaping, furnishing / decorations / amenities, pest control, & supplies (soap, TP, etc) are the big ones on my STR calculator that you didn't mention.I'd also recommend using the enemy method to determine expected income.

The cost for a tenant to move from a great landlord and home is significantly higher than the 5% so they will stay and probably say thanks.If the previous year had some drama at the home the tenant wasn't responsible for such as a flooded basement, leaky roof, rodent infestation, noisy neighbors, etc.... you may get some push back on the increase and the excuse they need to move.
