Vacation Rentals -- Screening Renters

[Emily Griffith]

Hey everyone!

My family has a property in Colorado that is currently for sale, but we are considering taking it off the market and keeping it as a vacation rental. It's a nice house and has a lot of valuable art in it, so we want to make sure that whoever we rent it out to is responsible and respectful. Does anyone have any experience screening renters? Are there sites other than AirBnB and VRBO that you would recommend that have a more extensive screening process? 

Any help/advice is appreciated!
