[Rhyna Orillaneda]

Hi. Recieved the final permit for my ADU and I'm ready to rent it out. The ADU is a converted garage on my primary residence. How do I start? This will be my first time landlording. I would like to get info on.

Documentation (like rental agreement)

Tenant screening

Insurance that I need to have

Any app recommended?

And more info I need to know?

Thanks so much for your time.

Hi @Rhyna Orillaneda!

BiggerPockets has recommended tenant screening companies on the landlord resources tab. You can find the landlord resources tab by hovering over the "tools" bar and clicking "Landlord Resources". Some of these companies also offer free forms and other resources for landlords that I think you would find helpful as a first time landlord. 

I'd suggest checking out the list provided by BP and researching which company would best fit your screening needs.

Best of luck to you!
