Seller must provide an up-to-date lease agreement of every tenant (no month to month or handshake agreement)Seller must provide last 12 months of rent rolls (showing that every tenant is paying on time/no deadbeat tenant)If there is a security deposit, it needs to be signed over to the buyer at closing (so that the renter isn't required to pay another security deposit to start a lease with you)Is there a Property Management in place?

Some may not require you to setup an account or you can do it an deposit $5. 

I assessed the damage and texted the ex-Tenant that from his $1600 deposit I was only returning $200.

Hi @Victoria KingIf you "lease to own" the property to them without a strong enough down payment (has to be above and beyond what it would be for 1st, last and security deposit), you risk having a nightmare tenant that is going to trash the place. 

You can request additional security deposit but new laws affect how long you can keep that, I believe only one year but you will need to independently verify this.

Just charge a pet deposit and monthly fee?

The landlord first threatened to deduct money from our deposit if the short bushes in the flowerbed died, so I started watering the flowerbed by manually turning on the irrigation system and turning it off ten or twenty minutes later.

Security deposit?
