While you can have a checklist of income, credit score, criminal background, landlord reference, etc, to me the bigger tell of good versus less than good tenants came from all the interactions prior to leasing.  

Also, was there a background check on the tenants possibly having criminal backgrounds and or background check to determine if the tenants had ever been evicted in the past?

It will be money well spent.Also, criminals know how to check which properties in the area are STRs and might be vacant during most of the winter.  

In most places you can deny on credit and criminal history. 

It's deterrence vs catching the criminal.

Report him to your local licensing boards as well as make police reports, even if not a realtor he will get large fines and potentially criminal charges. 

When I tried to open this account though, they treated me like a criminal even though I explained this repeatedly and all of my documentation was in order.My only concern about using Solera or Titan is that there's no local branch for me to access, and I'm kind of old school.

That ends up leaving a void that's filled by unprofessional, and in some cases outright criminal operations there in the PM space.

I am currently in the process of filing lawsuits against all of these tenants on behalf of my clients, and I am hoping we can add criminal charges onto the civil suits.

It's on sale right now for Cyber Monday too!
