Brandon Turner just mentioned in a podcast that after a rash of tenants putting utilities in their name and then not paying, his city has changed the laws and the utilities stay in the homeowner's name.

I am no legal expert, but you need to get better clarity from an expert before making in rash decsions. 

This includes people with facial tattoos, dirty cars, smokers, people with pets, felons, people with bad credit, five friends, people with loud cars, people with no jobs, etc.The reason we recommend you write your policies down is to avoid a discrimination complaint.

She wanted to know the kind of mold that was present since her son started getting rashes the day after we opened the door. 

So you may want to approach landlords right after they have had a rash of turnovers.Another thing that is driving our decision is that we like some of our properties more than others.  

Off the top of my head and keeping in mind that we all have standards that may not be strictly legal would you reject some of these :Neck and facial tattoos, single guys, recently separated women, single mothers, welfare, restaurant workers, nationalities know to cook offensive smelling food, smokers, low income immigrants, bikers, tattoo artists, recreational drug users, prostitutes. others.Or based on human rights laws etc. is everyone welcome as long as they pass basic screening standards. 

(yuk)... send mailers out.. every time I type the word "mailers" I get a rash somewhere on my body!

Avoid the temptation to be so enamored by the property, or be so urgent to lock in a deal, that you bypass the analysis and make a rash decision. 

The facial expression he had when I said the name Wendell de Guzman was enough for me.I got a long list of horror stories he had been told about from people that were "Scammed" by Wendell.

No dog collars, studs, facial piercings.Dyed or frosted hair is fine, just not orange or some wild unnatural color, no one wants to deal with a clown. :)Stay away from gaudy excessive jewlry or large hats, IMO, it's another attention distractor.I failed to mention tats above, so this applies to both men and women, a small tat is fine, if you have badassbiker with a dagger dripping blood, cover it up with clothes.
