More often than not, they refuse to run the AC (or it's "broken"), their cars are dirty, and many drivers are rude (this is of course a generalization based on my own experience).  

Great idea, but uploading an image of my drivers license is an invitation of identity thief.

I would look to add value for this higher rent by allowing easier lease breaking, providing monthly cleaner ( also a way to keep eyes on the property) monthly home cooked meal in the home and a driver for one night a month.

If they have a fake SS# or Drivers License you won't be able to report them to credit agencies, take them to small claims court or many of the other things that we as landlords often use as leverage.  

Old truck driver trick to get rid of the smell in a trailer that had been used to haul something nasty was to throw some coffee around inside the trailer.

If this person really went from Mom's house into his own house, well that doesn't provide any more references, so you'll have to do a little more digging.One thing I used to do, is ask to see their driver's license to prove they are who they say they are. 

On their applications I ask for drivers license number and state and they have both listed a license from a former state. 

It's not very hard if you're handy with a screw driver and not completely unaccustomed to such work, but you don't want your first time to be a tenant's unit.

Nothing too major surprisingly, but the driver and passenger fled the scene and were later caught.
