Tenant Screening questions

Hi,
I am looking for some advice on how to find better tenants.

Does anyone have any ideas on some screening questions that will help me find someone that fits the following criteria?
1- Someone who can do minor repairs and would not complain about every little thing, and if they see that the door handle is loose they can get a screw driver and tighten the bolts instead of calling and complaining about it and asking to send someone to fix it.
2- SOmeone who would tell me when there is a problem big or small even if they decide to fix it themselves.
3- Someone who would take care of of all of the yard work and not just mow the grass, for example like trim bushes, pull weeds from flower beds etc.
4- SOmeone who would not make structural changes (like removing closet doors or changing light fixtures ) even though its clearly stated in the lease agreement that its not allowed.

I know that there is no such thing as the perfect tenant and that people will do strange things.
But, I got lucky once and found someone like this in the past but it was due to pure luck.
SO  I am trying to see if there is anything that i can ask a prospective tenant in order to determine if they would be a good match and meet my criteria as best as possible.
