When we have units to fill, we frequently schedule blocks of showings (or open houses) with a published date on which we will begin processing received applications.  

Hi @Jing Tagle, Generally, I recommend raising rent slowly as we publish on this guide on how to raise rent on your tenants however, if it's $2500 below market rent I think you may need to work on immediately increasing the rent to market rate.  

Please keep in mind as well that the article looks to be a bit dated, so there's a chance that the city has already seen a few of these and taken a stance against them since the article was published.

For me, I don't publish any of my requirements.

You cannot go by the published HUD guidelines for rent.

Heck here they publish names in the paper before you are even convicted so look at those too. 

For many localities they do publish the address the taxes are paid from, so keep that in mind.

We recently completed a study (the writeup is expected to be published Wednesday) that showed 44% of renters nationwide now have insurance, a pretty fair increase from the 37% the III found, and a great start.  

I publish my qualifications and they are the same for everyone. there is no such law any where in the USA that you can get sued for rejecting a convicted felony or a eviction in the past you cannot reject for color, sex, sexual orientation or religion and so forth just make your rules clear and they apply for all and you never end up in court for such a thing. by the way you cant just tell them you just changed your mind that mean if you rent the apt to someone else any time over the next month your going to court to fight for a discrimination charge. make your own rules and stick with them for all.

It's really easy to read and it includes all the contracts and forms you'd need, and they're really easy to understand for tenants, too, which makes it easier to explain the different clauses to them.http://www.nolo.com/products/the-california-landlo...They also publish a book on tax write-offs for landords, that's really good, and a CA evictions book, and a bunch of other ones.
