Somehow I don't think the smoke detector industry is all that powerful of a lobby....

That column said a whole lot of nothing...

@Alex Hamilton Actually id rather collect the application fee and pay for mysmartmove.com myself. I was just asking which way smart move worked, if the landlord pays or if the applicant pays smart move.

@Account Closed Not really. With smart move, the tenant pays me the application fee, and i use that fee to pay for the credit and background check with smart move? Or does tenant pay smart move directly?

@Account Closed When using mysmartmove, the landlord can pay for the screening? I thought with smartmove, the applicant gets sent an email and fills out the info and pays?

Absolutely have to keep emotion out of the business.

Lots of colleges around orlando, including full sail. Could rent them out to college students i would think.

You could keep it.  Youd have to send a notice to them detailing why.  I'd just be happy to be rid of them. 

Don't give it back to them till after they have gone. Change the locks immediately after they have moved out. Deduct for any damage done from deposit.
