beginner landlady seeking rental advice
Hi everyone, I just bought a condo in NJ as primary residence but because of work commitments i may have to stay where i am a bit longer and i am considering renting it. First off, is there a standard lease you use? Any special clauses you think i should put? How do you screen tenants - do you use a web based service for background/ credit check, if so which site? Any advice appreciated. Thank you!
