With only an acre of land, as long as the ordinances are not below something like 150 feet, which they're probably not, you should never have to worry about oil related surface disturbance.

I always try to maintain the philosophy that my tenants deserve privacy unless they are damaging the premises and hurting other tenants.I also have regretted whenever I've stuck my nose past that line and tried to give them advice.Domestic violence is a tricky one though because they aren't damaging the premises or (usually) disturbing other tenants.  

Your post above simply reinforces again the misleading conversation I had on the phone.What really disturbed me and cemented my decision was the post by @Eric Tinsley on this thread. https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/92/topics/203379-do-hard-moneyFor ANYONE to take a $2000 deposit (I thought I was told $2500), and then tell the client the property they already submitted doesn't qualify is beyond absurd.

Its a quite neighborhood and I don't want any of the neighbors to get disturbed since several of them have already stopped by to tell me how much they disliked the previous tenants.

I have a one page cover sheet I add to each application with check boxes to show that they have the "deal breaker criteria", a section to score the "nice to have" criteria, and a section to briefly explain my acceptance or rejection.Our Criteria: Complete applicationVerifiable rental historySufficient income/resources to pay rent and liveCredit report showing prior addresses consistent with application We do not deny housing for race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap, sexual orientation, marital status, or familial status.We do deny housing to individuals:convicted of manufacturing or selling drugsconvicted of a crime the poses a threat to the property or neighborhood, including repeated disturbances, gambling, prostitution, violence, threats of violence, or rapewhere there is poor prior tenancy: evictions, violations, damage to rental property, poorly handled move outs, amounts are still owing to landlords or utilities.who misrepresent information on the rental application

While I don't make any money on the application process, it would greatly disturb things having the tenant be able to apply for 10 different places at once for one fee.  

Please DO NOT DISTURB the occupant.

I found one really disturbing

In this case, the tenant's invited guest allegedly created a disturbance that led to the police being called to the residence which led to the blood damaging the property. 

, but that is even more disturbing to me, if it were not Castro.
