We rent an environmental screen database that provides us with a 24 hour turnaround environmental screen and engineer evaluation of the report. 6.

Specifically, I’d love to hear about best practices for managing shared spaces, screening tenants, and setting up house rules.Additionally, I plan to split the utilities among the tenants—any advice on how to handle this efficiently would be greatly appreciated!

Perform the same task in each app to ensure a fair comparison.Load a property with pictures and details.Market that property.See what your marketing looks like from the public's perspective.Submit a fake application to see how easy the process is.Run a credit/screening report on yourself.Enter a maintenance request, assign a vendor, and attach a fake invoice.Enter charges to the tenant's ledger.Enter recurring charges and automatic late fees.Sign documents electronically.Run owner reports.After testing a few apps, one should clearly stand out.

I just went throught the entire screening process and its more like $6,800. 

@Venka Pulla Many smaller PMCs are unprofessional, they can also be vindictive.So, suggest you get all the info you can from your Owner Portal before terminating them.Also, hire a new PMC BEFORE terminating the current PMC.Then, terminate and work closely with the new PMC to get tenant payments switched over and whatever documentation is missing.Hopefully, you'll screen for a new PMC better than you did to pick the current one!

Many guests are fed up with all the chores AirBnb hosts require of them while charging cleaning fee. https://www.buzzfeed.com/alexalisitza/checklist-fees-screens....

So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?

They can find and screen good tenants, so you don’t have to worry about them not paying rent or taking care of the property. 

That said you can greatly alleviate that with good screening, and the higher price point that these types of units can demand should help filter out the deadbeats.

Non paying tenants(as a newbie I did no screening), dead tenants, Silly fines from the city for nothing, attempted robberies where I ended up with the cops pulled guns on me. 30 recently released convicts as neighbors for a while, a jacked up 7' tall transvestite call girl/drug dealer was my least favorite neighbor.
