Its not just on principle (though that is compelling too, as I as the landlord am required to live up to my end of the deal, but as a responsible adult believe I should anyway), but its also because I don't want to hose the next landlord by not having something on record.

Yes all adults in the rental should be screened the same way IMO, including rental history, income, credit and criminal.Originally posted by Harry Campbell:3.

You "put your foot down" with children or dogs, not with other adults involved with you in a mutually-beneficial business relationship.Does it need to be painted? 

My largest apartment is a 4 bedroom, but since one bedroom is very small and the city won't allow more than 3 unrelated adults to cohabitate where the property is, I have been renting it as a 3 bedroom. 

EVERY adult living under the roof MUST be on the lease.

I have a family of 2 adults and 2 kids (7 yrs and 1 yr) that are interested in the property, but I feel like the property (sq.ft) may be a bit small for them.

For clarification, we are talking about a 4 bedroom, 2 adult, 2 young kid home. 

Let me confirm, this is for 2 adults 2 kids and 2 dogs right?

I now target young adults with good jobs.

I ask about complaints against the animals and aggressive behavior toward other animals, children or adults.
