Current Tenants Get Updated Rental Agreement

[Julie Marquez]

I'm updating the rental agreements for tenants in my apartment buildings. They are all on month to month tenancies but I'd like to update their rental agreement to include the most recent laws, update contact information, and raise rents. I'm having everyone fill out a new application so I have their updated contact information. Should I also put them through the background and credit screening? Everyone has been a good tenant and I would choose to rent to them again, so not sure if it's necessary at this point. What do you think?

@Rob B. All good tenants with no big issues, so I guess there is no big reason to screen again. I just need a new rental agreement for most of them with updated contact info on both sides, and updates to the washington state law need to make it into the agreement. I have one agreement from 19 years ago!!
