So, I responded to your challenge with the ACTUAL contract pre-printed language that disputed your claim that I had no right to expect the drapes to be included.I went on to say that MANY (not all) states have similar language in their contracts. 

Not to dispute your experience, but I have the same example with my properties in Texas.

You can dispute the appraisal.

The resolution of the photo was reduced so the contrast is not showing like it does in the original photos.  

I have a year reserve for operational expenses, but concern if legal steps needed, along with potentially any damage to the property due to any disputes...the cost could go up significantly that exceed my reserve.Advice:I think I am being a bit paranoid and concern that this could be a sign of rent payment challenge in the near future...along with federal moratorium on evictions. 

Has anybody else come accross this and found a resolution?

Even if the owner was on the hook for a commission it would either complicate the deal and the owner would look to you to "help" with the resolution now that you are "committed" to the deal or the PM might just drag you into court with the owner to get everyone "on board".

I'm curious to know: What issues did it cause for you, and what was the resolution? 

It may vary state by state, but holding deposits (a deposit to take a rental off the market for an interested potential tenant) may potentially be tricky because regardless of what the document states and whether it is a "deposit" or "fee", the applicant may be able to dispute the amount that is not returned.In California, the amount that can be withheld must be "reasonable" and reflect the landlord's costs or losses.

I raised this issue to them, and they responded quickly apologizing for the mistake and assuring me they would credit me the difference in the next draw.While the response times have been prompt and the resolutions satisfactory, the issues I've run into with RPM are illustrating the downsides of using large property management companies.
