@Ryan DosseyThe reality is that the county will only look to prosecute in case of fraud and have no interest in an "insufficient funds" check@Mary TelloI would do a couple of things:-Even though your lease may have a grace period, you can still issue a 3 day notice on the 2nd. 

If there are two apartments for rent that are identical, both listed for $1000 and one included heat and the other doesn't, then they are going to rent the one that includes heat.

Email is NOT secure, and you will expose your contractors to unnecessary risk of identity theft.

In the last four months I have been contacted by two entities everyone should be aware of, because they are making the rounds in real estate forums and networking groups.1) A "lender" named Thomas Edward, or Thomas Ed...

That would make getting approved heaps easier... so much easier that my proposed solution seems fraud-level "gamey" and I suspect a lender would see through it.

While they don't have the same 'extras' I mentioned above, they are nearly identical in square foot, age, layout and location.

It may make a lot of sense from a financial and personal identity perspective.

One case against the property the court, found the original owners of trying to commit fraud upon the court.

Realtors who defend their commission really believe in their service and identity.

Feel free to share the identities of the scumbags so others can take steps to avoid them.
