Is a 25% re-leasing fee (of next month's rent) from property management company typical for a renewing tenant? Seems like an awful lot for no changes really.

They’re charging you 25% of what for what exactly?

25% of the first months rent of the new period with the same tenant. No change in lease terms. They call it a re-leasing fee.

I would never dream of charging that to my (good) tenants. And anyway, for what? An extra few hundred bucks? But I guess you can contract for whatever you want...

This ^. Offer the carrot of a future mandate in exchange for waiving the fee today. Just make sure the next mandate has a set minimal fee for renewals

Where are you located? It’s probably illegal in your state.

I don’t think they can do that in California!

These kinds of things are ridiculous. Have a property in Chicago. We negotiated this upfront and cut it out. They get a hefty fee anytime there is a new tenant though.

What does your contract w the mgmt company say?

Definitely not standard. My management company only charges me that if they are looking for a new tenant.

They are probabaly hinting they want you to leave. .
Once your lease is over its hard to beilive they can't do that, they aren't obligated to renew unless its in the contract. .

We are renovating a condo and the previous owner had two Crane toilets (not sure how old, but functioning although seals are old according to our contractor). Back outlet flour mount ones are the only options for the building, and one toilet can cost $300-$500.

We are redoing all the bathroom tiles and walls and debating what we should do with the two toilets. Would resealing the toilets extend the use life? Or should we just replace the toilets? Any other recommendations? TIA!!

Id like to rent it out for some positive cash flow that I can then start using to save for my 2nd property (sounds easy when I type it).

Thanks all for your input - stay safe!

Our appraisal came through exactly as the offer price we put. Apparently by lenders 3rd party. Isnt that a bit fishy? If it came in lower our contract has the option to negotiate a bit with seller. Is lender just trying to push this along faster? I'm pretty sure in this crazy market the home is not valued at what we offered. Why would seller put a much lower asking price then? Make no sense. Please advise!
