I'm a private owner and manager that lives about 15 miles away. I'll pay all the condo association fee (covering water, sewer, and trash in addition to snow and leaf removal, grounds, and various maintenance, improvements, HOA insurance, etc.). Tenants pay none of these costs. Although there are no parking fees, it's useful to have situational awareness.

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system: The condo has its own electric heating and cooling controlled by a thermostat in the dining area. A Goodman compressor acts as heat pump sending cooled or warmed fluid to a mated Goodman air handler inside the condo. The air handler, which resides in the laundry room, makes little noise. The compressor makes considerably more noise, but it resides at distance on the ground outside. Basically, the air handler contains has a heat exchanger that imparts either heat or cooling to the air. The handler's large multi-speed fan then circulates warmed or cooled air throughout the condo via an insulated duct system (a filtered and humidified forced-air system). The air handler can also be tasked with merely circulating ambient air without heating or cooling. --The HVAC system is~8 yrs old and rated at moderately high efficiency. --Humidifier (winter use only) is an April Aire 700M (last serviced 4/2022). --Thermostat is a user-friendly, programmable LUX. --Air filtration accomplished by 3M brand, 4-inch thick, pleated, MERV 11-13 filters changed at 6-mo. intervals.

See details above about my paying the HOA fees for many services and a list of some of the major expenses outside of those fees (e.g., Dominion Electric). All of the renters in the past 15 years have had internet access and providers can quickly set you up too. VA state law says you must ensure I have keys to front door. I will notify you and knock if I or a service provider needs access to the unit. Typically this is because of a service visit or repair. With your permission, I may in some cases leave copies of these keys with a trustworthy neighbor. Ignoring the issue of pets and assuming only minor wear and tear, and your record of on-time payments I can't think of any further fees or separate security deposit(s). That deposit will ideally cover your last month's rent. That said, the lease is far too complex to summarize here. I'll give you a blank copy to look over. We can discuss the various aspects of the rent. I've not taxed tenants in the past with further fees. Please note that there's seldom noteworthy damage from pictures on walls suspended by Ook-brand hooks and supports. At times the question of supports for wall mounted TVs has come up if you wish this arrangement, we can discuss how to accomplish this.
