Quote from @Shivani Kumar: The lease is a month to month agreement used from the california apartment association.

I'll actually spend time in the markets that I'm consider and literally just network with other investors and seek out people who are knowledgeable about the market.That said, some of the data sources I like when looking at rental areas:census.govcity-data.comzillow.comzilpy.comLocal chamber of commerce sites - can provide information about business/job/wage growthLocal real estate associations (members of NAR) - can provide information about local housing stats, housing supply, etc.

(Your mileage may vary)Prior to finalizing a lease agreement, I am considering presenting tenants with two rental price options for consideration:1) Inclusion of renter's insurance within the lease terms, with the option for tenants who decline coverage to pay slightly higher rent (wherein the associated premium cost is included in the monthly rental amount without the tenant's explicit knowledge).2) Inclusion of renter's insurance within the lease terms, with the option for tenants who obtain coverage to receive a slight discount on their rental rate equivalent to the cost of their renter's insurance premium.Optimistically, the second approach aims to incentivize continuous coverage for the tenant through a comprehensive renter's insurance strategy.
