@Roman Bulgakov If you do not have a good handle on local landlord/tenant laws as it pertains to filling a rental in your area I would recommend either hiring an agent who specializes in filling rentals to do it for you and/or meeting with a local attorney who can breakdown for you the process you should be following.I know the laws pertaining to this subject here in CT are not rocket science to understand, but I see people everyday leaving themselves in vulnerable situations when filling rentals.
