I think guests hardly ever damage things intentionally, but when you have luggage coming in and out all the time and little kids running around a "new place," there IS a lot more wear-and-tear, scuffs/dents/scrapes, and broken glass.

How would you handle tenant screening?

Retirement is not.I can understand retiring if you are old and broken.

How will you advertise, show, and screen applications?

I wish the answer was you just screen them out but some of them are quite adept at hiding it.

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator.So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?

Choose a reliable property manager with solid tenant screening, monthly management fees, and average vacancy rates.

The inefficiency of this system makes it risky to rent to tenants without stringent screening processes.Consequently, I have had to adopt extremely strict criteria when selecting tenants.
