Text on white background, which reads, "Your single family home has a 2 car garage right? Let's say you rent it out to a tenant right? Do you guys let the tenant park the vehicles inside the garage? Like I know it's meant for that but what if they hit your house and don't tell you? How do you go about this?"

Description: Facebook comment which says "I charge $100 parking in property otherwise street parking. A lot of people would rather walk lol Some come with one parking included (driveway) but for them to park inside $200-$250/mo. More is not a bad price. Be sure to put in contract about leaking vehicles there will be a cleaning fee and be sure to put something about no sub leasing that garage and you should be good."

Description: A second Facebook comment which says, "Depends on geo: college towns tend to have a premium on parking. Years back hadn't heard of pet rent. Try it and report back?"

Do your tenants require oxygen because I have an oxygen fee.

Or you can just sue them.

You aren't allowed to do this. The garage is apart of the house that you pay for in your rent. You can't deny a tenant the space they pay for. Along with that a landlord isn't supposed to have anything of theirs in a tenant's house. They aren't even allowed to touch your shit unless you say it's ok. Even if they pick something up and move it like 6 inches, it's considered a form of theft.

I went through this with a shit landlord awhile back. I got a lawyer involved and everything, but just moved out. It wasn't worth it.

It's a perfectly reasonable concern, but it should already be priced into the rent. "Addons" like this are just blatant cash grabs under the veil of "giving the user options" but realistically it is driving up the cost for no reason as it is meant to be already priced into the fucking rent. Adding arbitrary prices is a lot of these passive income leaches and exasperated by large tech and industrial corporations.

Agreed. Tenants damaging your property is literally a risk of being a landlord. Just like it's a risk when you let anybody use your stuff. That doesn't mean you nickel and dime people, especially out of housing.

Isn't the reasonable answer writing in damages fees into the contract, and then having photo documentation of various areas before the move in? That seems like it would be both reasonable and enforceable in most locations.

I suppose the real best answer for a would-be rental situation is to ask a local lawyer instead of Facebook.

That is for the insurance company to demand from the landlord that should cover certain scenarios, not for the renter to foot the bill on. It's as if insurance exists for a reason. This is not a solution, it's just penny pinching douchebaggery.

You should read about RealPage if you despise these jerks.
