Screening tenants well and then a security deposit or credit card hold process in place will limit liability.

They said they have a solid list of criteria to screen tenants, but they placed a tenant who stopped paying last July.

@Alec JacobsI would use platforms like Zillow Rental Manager or Avail for rental management, for listings and tenant screening, and tools like Cozy or Buildium for rent collection.

Better at finding and screening members as well as giving you more tools to help you manage your PadSplit effectively.

A solid pre-screening of the contractor upfront that spells out the expectations should somewhat reduce or eliminate the question of one side bailing out on the other.

I agree with a strong property management plan, but I find the screening process is paramount. 

I will be managing the property and have done a deep dive in all things real estate - screening, leases, Oregon tenant laws, etc.

@Michael Baum Thank you, I didn't know it was Evasive but honestly thank you it seems like to alot of people that it was a bunch of jargon/mumbo jumbo and I need to be straight forward I took everyones advice and have actually been getting more replies I've only been calling and emailing landlords/apartment complexes for about a week now so I'm still green but thank you for your feed backIt's hard to show gratitude through a screen but really thank you Micheal truthfully, I will/have make more changes I definitely don't want to be evasive.

@Aaron Gordon  we did the student rentals down here in Narragansett for  a long time and the more accurate screening was getting the major.

Any tips on how to screen the tenants?
