I've done a bazillion booths at arts presenting conferences- but never one where they didn't want a laptop or electronics.

Get the tenant setup on electronic payment or have them pay cash at your bank direct into your account.

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

Also, keep in mind that most CPAs do their work electronically now.

If the software is not simplifying your life or making you more accurate, you shouldn't use it.Software does have extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

I like your open house idea if you're getting a lot of people regularly asking to see the house, but if not, you're right that it may be a waste of time.The simple solution would be to get an electronic lock box or key pad door lock that will allow you to change the code after every use.

Also you could get an electronic lock and make a code for your contractor/handyman, that's what I have done when I was out of state and it worked out fine.

If I was your tenant I would also expect to be released out of the lease and unwilling to blackout the windows creating a cave like atmosphere or turn off my electronics however them refusing the portable ac's is odd.
