The "no cause" option may not be available in your jurisdiction.Like others have said, thorough tenant screening in the first place is key.  

But here is Bigger Pockets Tenant Screening Article: Tenant ScreeningHope that helped. 

This will give you a chance to do a pre-screening and expedite the process once the propriety is vacant and ready to show. 

I did some strict screening, so hopefully it's paying off!

During tenant screening we ask prospective tenants what kind of place they are looking for.... what features are important to them.... what is their idea of the ideal landlord?  

-Lesson learned if they are trying to make deal to get into property move on to screening other possible tenants.  

@Marcin Ferenc  thank you, I have considered that and currently think the pros would outweigh the cons of living next to tenants as long as screened properly.And I think in time will find a great deal here in NJ, hopefully sooner than later!

Learning the CT Landlord/Tenant laws, building a lease, creating a listing (taking great pictures and being descriptive got us positive feedback), doing showings, screening tenants and actually being a Landlord has been invaluable.

You screen veterans like anyone else and always verify their info.

Be sure to check the "Learn" tab at the top of the screen as it contains some great resources.
