I don't believe there is such a thing that could possibly replace good old fashioned personal screening. 

You may find yourself buying a new TV and jewelry for Mr.

This statute preserves your right to pay rent by check or some other old-fashioned method. 

The risk of replacing their mothers priceless jewelry hidden in the bottom of the half used coffee can and their $10,000 safety fund in the box of old papers you threw out is not worth it.   

I'll get back to them in a timely fashion on my terms.

So, even though I got them to move out in an amiable fashion, I think they could sense that if they didn't, I'd be happy to nail them to the wall LOL.  

Forget what all these naysayers think, your body is your temple, and you have a moral obligation to yourself to make your millions the old fashioned way, in court.

Normally, that only applies if you don't take possession of the property, and don't rent it to someone else.Lots of laws here you need to learn, and not easily answered in a generic fashion without knowing the details of your lease or the city/state the property is in.Bottom line, though, if I was you and didn't know all the laws or had the time to learn them, I'd just keep the deposit and tell the tenant they are not entitled to a refund, but they are welcome to sue you and see what the judge says.Then, if they actually sue you, you show up, show the judge the photos, etc.  

I am looking for honesty, respect and quality work in a timely fashion.

There is no incentive for them to find you good tenants or to do repairs in a fashion that saves you money - because they usually profit whenever there are repairs, or finding tenants, or kicking out tenants, etc., etc.
