I definitely pre-screen electronically or via phone before showing the place.  

Plus the issue of cat's spraying.We've tried electronic cat deterrents; they did nothing. 

There is no fee to the LL or the tenant if they pay on line with an electronic check.  

I also moved them to electronic payment.  

NACHA is the organization that manages the development, administration, and governance of the ACH Network, the backbone for the electronic movement of money and data in the United States and is funded by the financial institutions it governs.

Get some electronic door locks, find a cleaner on Nextdoor and spend about 10 minutes a day per property adjusting pricing and managing cleaning schedules. 

I do not allow them to sign a lease until they've presented certified funds for security and first month's rent (usually at start of lease-signing appointment, or I'll send lease electronically once funds are deposited-- Google wallet works great for that). 

Are there other methods you've used, like setting up electronic payments?

On any subsequent offence, the landlord can file a "Final Notice to Vacate" which requires arrears to be paid within 7-days, but the tenant is still required to vacate within 15-days (unless the landlord agrees to allow the tenancy to continue).The reality of life today is that electronic transactions are prevalent. 75% of our tenants pay electronically and those numbers are skewed by our "international student house" where most pay by cash.

I did not do so for the outlets I plug my electronics into though.
