Lease Writing For New Tenants

Always be very careful when writing up your lease to the new tenant.  Make sure that you posted the property onto a digital website like Zillow, and always ensure that the tenant fills out the proper paperwork, so that you can review their background.  

Some new tenants are very good at talking and making you feel good so they get the property.  However, their background info will tell the truth about them.  It took me 2 years to decide that my tenants are not my friends and I can't get to know them, just in case they fall behind on paying rent.  Always be ready to give a 10 day notice, and take them to court if they fall behind.
