Tenent horror stories

I have read a lot of stories about tenant horror stories and honestly becoming a landlord sounds like a terrifying proposition. But i guess my question is if you properly screen a tenant and not give way to desperation are you still likely to have these problems? What i mean by desperation is; The property is vacant and you rent to someone who is sketchy at best.

You can never guarantee that you won't have an issue with a tenant, but if you have an effective process in place, and you stick to it, you can minimize the chance of an issue.  And that's the best you can do.
