If you identify a problem, ask the seller if it was pre-existing or caused by the current tenant.

A good tenant is more than just a rent check—they should respect your property, your rules, and the people around them.

Find out which filters are best for your furnace, purchase a year's worth, write the installation date on each one so the tenant knows when to swap them, and inspect regularly to verify it's happening.

Charge the tenant for all cleaning and repairs required to return the rental to these same condition as it was given, minus ordinary wear-and-tear.You can't charge full price for a replacement appliance, flooring, or even paint.

Hi everyone,I'm curious to know if any property managers here send feedback forms to tenants after they've moved out.

Quote from @Clint McMillian: I know for a fact that a good number of my tenants have been faking/cancelling renter's insurance soon after getting approved for the lease.

Quote from @Jeff Calcaterra: We have a potential tenant new to the area who has gone through a paid background check, signed a background check authorization form, sent us a LinkedIn profile, sent an offer letter and says he is willing to send us paycheck stubs, but says he doesn't want us to call HR to verify employment because he is supposed to have found housing already.

You should definitely do a screening of the tenant/company. 

We had a tenant HUD approved Section 8 where we had 12 people ina 4 bedroom house. 

Tenants don't get to dictate terms.
