We left our handy woman in charge and went on a cruise.Everything to that point had been good with her, but I reckon the moment the phone signal went dead, she got blindingly drunk and then proceeded to harass every single tenant.

My applicant showed a card that said service dog and picture of said dog on one said and a Q+A on the other side about what's a service dog, what laws apply to my business, etc..I'm assuming that a service dog is highly trained in the sense to help the person's disability like a guide dog leading a blind person.

One slipped through once and after her appointment I was thinking she seemed great, then Googled her and found out she embezzled money from the local society for the BLIND where she worked. 

They involved rolling over your switch and receptacle covers, brushing onto towel bars and lighting fixtures, smutches on the edges of window frames and sides of blinds, and drips on carpets.If you let them paint be prepared.

Has plastic blinds so no cloth curtains to worry about there. 

For instance, if you replaced blinds because they wouldn't open and close anymore, then that's not really something that the tenant "broke."  

You can eliminate candidates based on credit and other race blind methods, but you are creating a potentially big problem of implementing what could be seen as a discriminatory system of rents.

And don't blindly accept their version of the past to be 100% accurate/true.
