Home Care Professional Rentals

[Sarah Msuya]

Hello all, 

I am renting out a 3 bedroom home in a great area and was approached by a home care professional company specializing in individual with intellectual disabilities and autism. I've looked at their website, checked the state of Maine to make sure they are in good standing, and am now waiting for them to provide me with a lease which I will edit if needed. I got a great feeling from them and one of them ran for city council in the city its in. I know better than to just "trust my gut" but I don't know the appropriate vetting process. I don't want to hold this transaction up too much and I really do feel good about it. It feels strange to vet the owners of the company through a background check and apartments.com cannot run LLCs through. 

I'm so used to vetting long term rental tenants and have a solid process around choosing good tenants. With this situation, I don't know what I don't know. 

Does anyone have a lease generator for this situation? Any other checks I should be performing? Items to be sure to include in the lease? 

They said they take care of all repairs and maintenance outside of structural. I'm assuming this means anything residents damage and I would still be responsible if a fridge breaks or a roof leaks. I guess I'm just looking for someone with experiencing doing this to give me a few pointers before I officiallly sign this 4 year lease.
