At a minimum, I would request the security deposit deposit which will further secure the tenant & the rental with the first months rent payable on or before the agreed upon move in date.I would also put a clause on the receipt stating something along the lines of" If tenant fails to move in within (certain amount of time-7 days of agreed moved in date, due to no fault of the landlord/owner/management, ( a percentage, 1/2) of deposit will be forfeited "This way, if for any reason if the tenants doesn't move in, you don't lose time/money and you get compensated for the time the property wasn't on the market.

You could pay them a small percentage of each deal.Not too long ago, I started using "GotVmail" and that's somewhat of a virtual answering machine.
