This is a business after all and it being WI with warmer months coming up, I do not imagine having any issue renting my 2 units out.  

Yes, a canvas painting  dropcloth is ideal, but a layer of cardboard will work fine.

I scheduled a time to look into the home and when the time came we went to see it... kitchen had caught a fire and is in complete ruins, there is mold on the ceilings around the place, fire in kitchen went thru the roof and they placed a cardboard over it but from the inside you can still see outside, critters have come thru and torn up the place, the floorboards are all crumpled and lifted, garage is full of trash, the land hasn't been touched for any type of landscaping or lawn maintenace, inground pool is full of sea-like-weed but the biggest issue that I seen was when as soon as you go thru the backdoor into the home are stairs that lead to the basement.

We have to set down cardboard/wood when pulling out appliances and it is very susceptible to scratches.  

They have great customer service and the tenant can call them directly if there is an issue. Rent

And, some credit card issuers are supplying credit scores now with their statements.
