I used to use Craigslist to list my rentals previously, but noticed that I was receiving terrible leads all the time, which is why I stopped.

I have a tenant in Maine who refused to leave after her lease expired, and multiple notices were given saying she needed to leave after it expired. 

With Guesty, have you noticed an increase in the number of your bookings?

If someone can get the SEC or another financial division to take notice then that could change the playing field dramatically. 

We make them sign and acknowledge all the fees at lease signing Then when the tenant gives notice we send them the video link and the pictures to let them know that is how we expect to get our property back.Then after the tenant moves out we take another video and another 150-200 pictures for before and after pictures and proof should we ever go to court

Curious, have you noticed this trend in other areas too? 

You'll also want to ensure you have a good property manager to look after the upkeep of the property if you are not there to notice anything deteriorating or which may need attention.Creating an LLC in California could cost you a minimum tax of $800 every year.

For a list that small you may get lucky and no one will notice but in general you can easily run into frequent litigators that are just waiting to get called and file suit.

I would give them a 3 day pay or quit notice.
