We have moved to our new home and wanted to rent our old primary home. We are ready for Homeowners insurance renewal end of the month and we are currently having a HO3 policy on the old property.

Since we are moving to our new primary home, I wanted to know if I should ask my insurance company to provide a DP3 policy quote for the old primary which we are going to rent out or keep the insurance as HO3. We are going to have the renters get a renter's insurance for the tenure of the lease as well.

Any advantages of keeping the policy as HO3 vs converting to DP3.

Please explain and clarify how should we proceed.

Thanks a bunch. Stay Safe Y'All

Hello,

My tenant paid a non-refundable pet fee when they moved in 2 years ago and would like to renew the lease. Do you typically have them pay a pet fee again upon renewal?

Please let me know what the norm is.

Thanks!

Hello Erik,

Can you send me the list of screening questions that you use for intial screening for your rentals?

Thanks!

I've had good luck with Craigslist but part of my system is to start with the email screening. When they show interest (respond to the ad) I have them answer questions to make sure they aren't a bot/scan/lookyloo:

-When are you looking to move?

-How many people are going to live with you?

-Is your monthly income three times rent?

-Can you afford to pay first months rent and security deposit at lease signing?

etc.

This lengthens the screening process intentionally. It helps your vetting and it shows them that you are serious and know what you are doing and won't just rent to anyone.

Good luck!

(Sidebar: I actually had renters tell me that Zillow is good too)

Thanks for all the responses..

My another question here is:

How do you all monitor/keep track of rented properties if the tenant brings in a pet when they signed for "No Pets" on the lease agreement.

Also how do I track if they (Guest and dog) come over and stay overnight at random times.

Thanks!

We have a prospective tenant who's Girlfriend will visit him every other week and maybe stays a day or two. She has a pet(dog) who will be with her during the time she visits/stays at the rental property.

The GF is not a co-applicant but just visits him and stays a day or two.

How do I address this situation since we have a "No Pets" policy in all our rentals.

Should I charge a pet fee every month along with a pet deposit or should I say "No Pets."

Please advise.

Thanks!
