Provide them a year's worth of filters when they move in, written instructions, and a notice that they are responsible for repairs if their failure to maintain results in a problem.2.

Hello,My apartment has been vacant last couple of months.The first vacant the electric utility bill came around $150 and I noticed that the central AC furnace was on so I turned it off immediately but to my shock the second vacant month the bill came around $250.Barring a refrigerator nothing is on in the apartment, my apartment utility bill is lower than that where the appliances including central ac run frequently.

I was looking through some listings on Propstream and found a house that has reached the "Notice of Trustee's Sale" stage of pre-foreclosure but it shows it was purchased in cash so there is no mortgage on the property. 

I’d recommend permanently blocking all fireplaces for insurance purposes and to decrease likelihood of fires.

It would be a nightmare for the seller to have to give multiple 24-hour notices to enter tenants' apartments for people who are not serious about buying the property and it would be very time-consuming for the sellers, tenants and brokers.

But a basic like a rent increase with proper notice should not be negotiated.I would not explain in detail as they will just counter whatever you say. 

Further it is very likely that the 39% rate proposed will decrease to something more like 25% or 28%.

I noticed the Est Mortgage on BP is always $100-$200 off compared to the MLS.

When I have rented to folks in this situation, it's one lease that everyone signs (and everyone gets a copy), tenants are responsible for setting up and paying the utilities, the lease CLEARLY states no additional folks can reside there (it's not unusual to have boyfriends/girlfriends/friends who have been kicked out by parents or lost their rentals show up and start living on a couch) and an early buyout clause in the lease (typically 30 days notice and two months worth of rent) since sometimes these type of situations do not work out. 

@Nathan KapustaI would resend that notice.
