Then when I called her and said I was having it cut and sending her the bill, she accused me of treating her like a child and stalking her.

Some owners have even be accused of discrimination and that cause them a lot of problems because they charged one tenant or race fees and not another..

I am not accusing anyone but I am noticing a few I have called seemed a little shady on their questions.Is there a way to check these companies/people out?  

I listened to podcast #265 and now I am thinking that I need to have a rental policy in place so that if someone accuses me of discrimination or unfair treatment, I can say that I have strict guidelines of who can rent. 

@Anthony Russell:"Here Why don't I look over your shoulder the whole day while second guessing you and questioning your methods while you work, and if you complain about it I accuse you of ripping me off and never call you again".

Don't necessarily accuse them of pushing you into it (at least not at first), but definitely let them know that this is not what you want.  

And I've been quite successful - all with great tenants who have lasted.I'll gladly tell you all about my screening process, but would rather not have it up for all to see - as some will accuse me of discriminating (read "good screening").

When you start trying to "raise" money from private investors... there is the risk of being accused of issuing a security... which is a regulated activity .. and often may require compliance with both federal and state securities law.

A lawyer or two have in their own "sneaky" ways have more or less hinted that some how Month to Month rental agreements are not legal and accused me of not paying Bed taxes, but my rental properties are not in the most favored sections on town and get renters with histories that are not very desirable.

Being accused of discrimination is not only an ugly thing, BUT it can cost you a lot in lawyers' fees.
