I use TenantBackgroundSearch.com.....get the full report $29.95I disagree...get social security number, get DL number, get as much information as possible(or legal in your state) because it is much less likely for people to lie/cheat you and have all that false or fraudulent information to do it with, AND if they did, they are already guilty of several felonies that would probably make them a bit less confrontational, if things go sideways.

I would recommend sending them a letter directly inquiring about the property and stating your interest (I find direct mail is a less confrontational approach).I have access to the MLS, I don't mind running a search on the property and giving it to you.Good luck and let us know how it goes.

And your probability doing this guy a favor to now confront his girlfriend.

When she confronted me, I simply told her what was stated in my formal letter to her, that I would not be renewing the lease.

When confronted to make a comment on habitability when I bring up all the items that make the hosue inhabitable, she avoids answering.I chose Liberty Mutual becuase it was very well rated on A.M.

You can put a door hanger on their door or a flyer in their mailbox if you are non confrontational and then add them to a DMM campaign.

I'm not a confrontational person and I'd rather deal with knowing a project is being bid a couple extra days and knowing it will be done by then.

My advice with lower class properties though is that you have to be unafraid of confrontation and be very firm with your tenants. 

Part of me almost wanna give in and let her renew to avoid future confrontations.

Each time I would confront him about it, I received the same excuse “Im working it”, “Don’t worry about it”, “My guys are on it”… Then there was the discovery that I was being charged $300/board to hand drywall!
