This is especially important if the renter has some "issues" like owning a pet, or if he's a smoker.

(I loved watching him question/grill Bernanke on CSPAN last month).

The quality of inquiries was much better there than craigslist as Zillow inquiries can come with tenant info (income, history, credit range, pets, smoker, etc).

The 17 year tenant is a smoker a smoker and the previous owner never replaced flooring.

One of my rentals in Cleveland I was to the point of renting, twice.....below market rate and the tenants backed out at the last minute when they said they didn't like this, or that.......I advertised on GoSection8 and found a renter that met my qualifications within 2 days....I told my PM, No Smokers of any kind, No Pets, No Evictions, No felonies, and they have to already have the voucher in hand.Oh, and I'm getting more rent than I initially thought I would get.......PLUS it is a nice hedge against (the next upcoming) recession because I won't have to worry about them claiming they can't pay the rent because 92% of it is paid by Section 8. 

I have taken over a property where the previous tenant was a smoker and smoked cigarettes inside the property.

Grills may not be kept or used on the wooden decks.

I have also discovered through some research that the problem could be from a tenant to who is a chain smoker....which the current tenant is!!! 

I enjoy getting outside to hike Utah's beautiful trails, snowboard, and have relaxing days cooking on the grill.
