C: Think Mayport which has s lot of potential because of it's proximity to the beach.

PM asked them to slow down, but at this point I doubt my 1k deposit would cover the cost of changing everything back to how it was in the backyard and garage.

This confirms the current terms, M2M, current rate  and any security  deposits on the lease.

The first deposit is $1000, and the other is $5000.

Don’t give contractors deposits.

I have had 2 tenants reach out, extremely worried and one "wanting to move out with all deposit returned."  

At the very least, I would ask for an additional deposit and put them on a month-to-month from jump.To me, tenant screening is 85% of this gig. 

if so do you request a deposit and/or have an agreement that you have them sign?

Fair housing laws aren't something that I want to mess with, and after a day of having a post on facebook marketplace I took it down and was REALLY glad no one could make the required deposit.

Give a deposit slip of your bank account and have them deposit cash directly into that account each month through the teller.
