The result for a background check using Zillow Rental Property Manager's site came back with a result of "N/A".

I've looked at a few of the sites and will reach out to them. 

Maryland’s DLLR site you mentioned is definitely a step in the right direction.

Thanks Ashley, there’s a lot of information on this site and trying to absorb it all.

Other than living at the work site what is your contribution to this transaction?

But I noted that places like North Tonawanda as @Pravit Jarriyapurttipong mentioned are actually outside of Erie County, it's in Niagara County, which follows the stricter landlord laws as New York State... https://ag.ny.gov/sites/default/files/changes-in-nys-rent-la...Would you recommend sticking to Erie County boundaries for this purpose?

Tailor these amounts to the significance of the task; for example:Roofer: $1,000/day (critical to weatherproof the site).Painter or garage door installer: $100–$200/day.Contract Value & Payment Terms:Agreed payment amount (lump sum or itemized costs).Breakdown of payment terms:Deposits.Progress draws.Retainage (if applicable).Scope of Work:Be as detailed as possible.

Would be nice if about us pages on these sites, were a little more detailed with photos of who is behind the company.

I own a duplex property (I do not live on site) and I'm renting out the 2 bed/1 bath back house.

Looked around the site, I only see lenders, property managers, agents, brokers, etc. but not developers?
