Be careful using a blanket strategy for all of your properties.

The people who are making blanket statements that "tenants are responsible for *all* the actions of their guests in *all* states" are wrong.

Harry teaches at our local board and just spoke at our local REIA regarding the new regs on blanket denials of tenancy by people with criminal histores.

You would be giving blanket permission to anyone to come on in and case the place.  

Juan Diaz I've been an Airbnb host since 2011, and I disagree with some of the blanket statements you made about the company.

Everyone has a story, no need to blanket label people what you think they might be.

Legal zoom is a generic boiler plate blanket set up and usually just good enough to make you feel protected with many loop holes.

Sure, we want to protect OUR property, etc...but a blanket denial for criminal records CAN land you in court, or worse, having to try and defend the policy with HUD.

@Mike Williams blanket statements are dangerous.
