First time landlord in Mississauga region

[Mark L.]

Hi,

I bought a condo to rent out in Mississauga. Few questions

1. Should I try to rent it out myself or get a realtor?

If I do it myself 

1. what documents would I need to provide the tenant?

2.  What type of documents should I request from the tenants to be able to screen them. Anyone willing to share what documents they use

3. How do I go about screening them. Any best practice that anyone can share. Any red flags I should I be aware of.

4. If something needs repairs b3 abuse the tenant misused it. Who is responsible to pay.

5. can I put in a factor of inflation in the rental contract

thanks.
