I completely agree as this is both reasonable and to me, plain common sense.

I am going to further research legal grow ops and grounds for eviction. From a personal standpoint it seems reasonable to include this in a lease as an automatic breach but I wouldn't necessarily assume this would be enforceable (e.g. whose rights would come first - a tenant who has obtained...

I have always used a UPS box as it is a central point to receive mail and as Thomas said, puts in a layer of privacy you will want as a landlord at a minimal expense. I prefer UPS as they can receive shipments on my behalf and I have also found some companies will not ship to a P.O. Box but UPS...

I would suggest you contact the Landlord Tenant Advisory Board to get a clear answer on this. I have found this to save me any second guessing.

James, I would also suggest you have a conversation with your lawyer as it would seem reasonable they would support you on this.

You're most welcome!

Hi Jason, can you please post which article you are looking at? Thank you!

Congratulations on your successes and experiences Cory!

Agreed, often prospective tenants weed themselves out. And if you do get an applicant that is not a fit for you and your property, thank them for their time and say "we've decided to rent to somebody else". Even if you do not have someone lined up now, you will have someone else in the future...
