Advertising & screening for a garage tenant

[Nancy L.]

Does anyone do garage/storage rentals? If so, do you do full screening like for residential rentals, including income verification, credit, and background check? Or what is your process?

Do you typically have people pay monthly or do you try to incentivize (or require) people to pay multiple months up front?

Also, any ideas of where to advertise?? I was thinking of Craigslist but there seems to be only three posters in my whole city under that category there, so there must be somewhere else people go for this.

I have a garage I need to find a tenant for and am not too familiar with this aspect of the business. Our ideal tenant for it would be someone needing long term storage (eg classic cars). Thanks in advance for any ideas!
