First time landlord. My first screening, where to begin ?
Ok. So here it is. This is my first so to speak rental. I bought a duplex last year and had a tenant in place. This tenant has been good so far, paying rent on 1st of the month (Haven't done final exit inspection yet), no complaints and so far so good. She will be vacating her unit end of September, and now I need to find a replacement. I already have lease from BP. I have sevreal enquires so far (word of mouth) for the place. Question is How do I proceed from here on ? Do I just go to cozy, sign up and it walks me through tenant screening and rest of the stuff. All these enquires have asked me for an application and I do not have one in hand. Do I just direct them to cozy ? I also need to advertise this rental on Facebook.
I could also hand this over to management but I would like to do it myself for few months before I turn it over to mgt company. Any input is appreciated.
