With proper screening you can find some great folks and government money is key especially during uncertain times. - Mike 

What about inviting the downstairs person up, turning on some music or the TV so they can see what the normal noise level is like and then going down to their unit and see what you can hear? 

I'd also highly recommend screening the tenants credit, criminal, and eviction history.

You need to screen your tenants a bit better .

Right now, I'm trying to improve how I look for tenants and my screening process. 

That's definitely a combination of things like how we conduct our marketing of available properties, stringent tenant screening, as well as the current market. 

But I showed him my first property, the numbers, my Cozy account, how I was screening tenants, my leases and applications, bank accounts (showing I was running it separately of my personal finances), and some bigger pockets calculator results.

If you screened him properly, you would have verified his income and that this rental was affordable.2.

Just don’t over extend yourself financially, screen your tenants hard and don’t let the property fall into disrepair.

I overheard a customer complaining about his satellite TV bill so I recommend he try Hulu or YouTube TV and he said he doesn't know how so I offered to help him with it.
