As for number of people, we don’t mind children, but our third bed is a full size sofa bed. We warn potential renters that think they want 6 people staying, as I as an adult wouldn’t feel comfortable in the sofa bed, but kids aren’t as heavy and seem happy in the sofa bed.

We learned the hard way on furnishings. We had some mid-century modern dining chairs, but they were not sturdy enough to hold 300 pound folks, and the legs cracked. Our dining chairs now are iron, and extremely sturdy.

Since we live nearby if possible we check on the rentals between every tenant, after the cleaners come, to make sure it is ready for the next tenant. Sometimes, if we are busy and it’s a 10am to 3pm turnaround we can’t get in after the professional cleaners, and count on our property manager to make sure everything is tip-top.
Does foremost put that in writing in their policy? Allstate says they will cover renters, but it is not written in their policy.
