@Jen Anderson how about get google voice number for your rentals and screen that line.

Fifth, you’ll get better screening the next time you have a fancy.

I do have a nightly pet fee but i put in my listing that if someone is bringing a pet for an extended period of time they can also reach out to me to discuss a flat pet rate for their stay.

I came across a 2-flat with a basement that has been converted into garden unit with 3 bedrooms and kitchen and bath.

wow never seen flat roof designs in that part of the country. 

.: Go to GET STARTED > EVENTS AND MEETUPS at the top of your screen.

I'm guessing/hoping it's a combination of my screening, having a nicer than average unit and being responsive and respectful With the tenants.

The lot is almost perfectly flat which makes this significantly easier. 

That was a year ago with debt mounting higher & income flat if not  lost.
