If you can't do this, you can inflate the rent to include utility charges or just do flat-rate billing.

You have to know how to screen.

Screen, Screen & Screen your tenants!

Run a credit/screening report on yourself.

Hiring an experienced property manager who regularly checks on the property and has a thorough tenant screening process can help landlords avoid thousands of dollars in fines, property damage, and lost rent.

Its also amazing to me the amount of people out there who do not screen their applicants.

I ended up chatting with a few property managers and paid a flat $700 fee for them to make the problem go away.
