Make sure at least 3x income to rent, 550+ credit, verify no evictions, criminal and employment.Message me if you want any pointers from another CT landlord.

I recently received my associates degree in criminal justice from a local community college.

For me, it makes more sense to base judgements off income, credit, criminal history, judgements, etc.

Tomorrow I want to submit offers on both of them but after crunching some basic numbers, I'm concerned that my offer will be somewhat offensive to the agent.

He has also filed a $40k lawsuit against me for slander (since I called him a squatter, which is defamatory to his reputation) and he has also filed criminal harassment charges on me (because I bother him oh so much).

Tenants didn't have a lot of options for people that would rent to them as they were criminals and were carrying out criminal activity while in the unit so no way they would report to authorities.

Both of these are also towable offenses.

About the only thing not covered are intentional criminal acts. $5M as liability coverage is a pretty good level but see your agent as to the amount for the area and potential exposureThe next level of protection is good management, acting prudently, following laws and keeping properties in good condition. :)

@Joel Owens,GA allows for criminal charges for a bounced check in addition to the civil remedies available.As for the lien, it's possible that could work or at least work well enough to get them to cough up the $500.

It's like they say...the best defense is a good offense.
