If not what is the proper way to fill them?

My theory is that they really don't have a solid grasp on the proper way to do it, i.e. handshake deals, improper tenant screening, etc.

The fact they are complaining online might be an indication the property manager dealt with them properly so be sure to ask the manager for their side of the story.7.

Proper Notice to give them?

Sometimes the landlord doesn't have the property properly registered or they don't have valid contact information on file to send notices.

Im really new to the landlording game, and im trying to get clear information on how to properly and legally deny a tenant application.

Most of the 2-4 unit properties that exist in the area exist in DC proper, so those percentages plumit even more against the metro areas 2,354,827 housing units that exist. 

@Farzan SetayeshNothing out of the ordinary, but I use the combination of the following consistently:- google photo for agent photo/video sharing- docusign for executing docs- acrobat X for all other doc edits- whatsapp for texts and phone calls- online money wiring or ACH for large items- paypal or venmo for smaller items- zelle or ACH for collecting rent- yelp or taskrabbit for misc repairs- lawnlove for landscaping or snow removal - skype for group meetings- Dropbox for online record storage- google voice for call forwarding - email for all tenant communications - autodraft for all utility & mortgage payments- online payments for all taxes & insurance - google earth to survey neighborhoods for out of town purchases - amazon or HD for online parts ordering The automation & streamlining of low value tasks enable me to preserve time for higher value activities.

@Micaiah Cormier Nothing wrong with owner financing :) You would just need to use a title company and make sure everything is properly recorded like a real mortgage so you have protection.

We are executing a Value-Add strategy on this 19-acre property.
