@Nidal Daraiseh  If you happen to put one of your STRs in Gatlinburg, it would be really neat to have a fully functional Gatlin gun as an amusement device in the back yard. 

But I feel like I read that electronic communication was not useable for legal notice i.e. 30-60 day, 3 day pay or quit ECT. 

They are basically a medical device that is required by their disability to live in their apartment - in spite of - their disability.

I haven't seen anything that suggests it is illegal/discriminatory but i have had prospective tenants claim they cannot make electronic payments (some credit unions have issues with electronic payments) and these prospects are usually in the lower income brackets.  

Be sure and give him your forwarding address.Yes, texts are legal in court, as electronic forms of communication are considered to be "in writing."

I have a rental application that i can print and hand to the applicant  OR have them fill out the electronic form and print the completed applicationFrom this form i would like to run the credit and background checksWhat sites are out there that will allow me as the landlord to run the checks instead of requiring the tenant to have an computer, email address, and credit card to do it own their own.I have evaluated cozy and TransUnion Smartmove but both (i believe) require an email be sent to the applicant for them to fill in all information to run the checks.

I live in an apartment now with super nice furniture (seriously, my couches are electric and my bed is too), a 50 and 60" tv, electronics, etc.

You could Set up a bank account as John Doe Property Management and on the lease say to write checks to the same. ..they will probably pay electronically anyway.

I'll have him work on a product line of solid inexpensive massage/stretching devices that primarilly function by floors, walls, ceilings, doorways and basic furniture that has been passively developing in my head over the few years that I've been dealing with a lot of stress related muscular pain, not to get personal but maybe I may have run into this fellow for another purpose than so far assumed.

Now that it's all electronic, I quit bidding.
