When you go over the lease, provide them a tenant instruction sheet with your welcome packet that explains:- how they can pay rent- how to make a repair request- watering restrictions- how to operate unit's HVAC, thermostat, care of garbage disposal, location of main water shut off, gas shut off, breaker box- numbers or links to turn on/transfer utility accounts- how your city enforces noise ordinances and how this may effect those who violate it (BTW, your tenant  blasting his music so it can be heard at by other residents on the block  at 10 am is just as bad as if he is doing it at 4 in the morning). - anything else you feel tenant should knowOthers have given you some great suggestions for collecting rent automatically.

I have a small, SFH 3 bdrm and rent 1 bdrm to 1 person - as the ad clearly states.I had a couple reply recently - went on and on about being older "professionals": "We just want to make music and bring smiles to people.

He had decided to write music full-time, and promised me he would never play loud music in the apartment, etc. 

They're the ones who will park crazy and take up two spaces, "forget" to pay rent on time, play music too loud, etc. 

I am considering a tenant who also teaches music from home (her current place). 

"Steve never washes his feet" "can you remove Stuart from the property as he plays loud music at night"Just goes on and on.

As a tenant, if the restaurant has music and/or sells alcohol, it can be a problem. 

Tenants are having prayer groups once a week with loud music and yelling/praying.

Flips and STRs are a risky niche to have when the music stops.

Every tenant loves to smell fresh paint when they are shown an apartment... and if it is greige walls it will pop the molding which is music to a professional.1.
