I just signed a lease with a tenant on my first rental property (a condo) and today my CPA advised that I move the ownership from me personally to an LLC. I used Zillow Rental Manager for the lease and it does not have an option to have an LLC for a landlord - just space for first/last name of landlord. What is the smoothest way to switch from me to my LLC on the lease agreement? If the tax records show my LLC as owner, do I even need to make the change on my lease agreement?

I will take a referral, will send you a message.

I have 5 showings this weekend for prospective tenants for a condo I own.  I used Zillow Rental Manager to list it.  Seems pretty easy to use.  But I am reading mixed reviews on Zillow's background check.  What is best practice for screening and verifying income?  Should I be handing the prospect an actual printed application to sign to is it better to do everything electronically and do through a third party?  Is the Zillow Rental Manager lease agreement an acceptable document to use once I approve someone? This will be my only rental for a while so I'd like to keep it as simple as possible.
