Then, when they call, go over the points in the ad including qualifications and info about the property.  

Also, consider listing your qualifications in your posting to avoid questions.

If you own several different properties, even saying they are basically same rental and tenant bracket, can you have different set qualifications for each property?

When someone says that they want to rent for a couple of years, get through school, get their qualifications, then I'll get right behind them.

Hello Matthew.If that was me in your situation ,I would let the lease expire. 4 months goes fast, (obviously do not renew the lease)once they all move out do your house inspection, and charge accordingly to the wear and tear.Ultimately count your blessing that you did not get in trouble with the County, use this situation as an experience to get wiser, and more strict on your tenant qualification for the next time.  

You don't say what kind of repairs are needed but what are her qualifications to do them? 

Starting to wonder if I need to revamp my qualifications.

You don't want to have them sign a 1-year lease, only to discover they don't pay the rent on time and you then have to start the eviction process.If the current owner didn't use the same qualifications that you would use, I would run a background check on them at your own expense - they are already there and if it comes back fine it is a small price to pay for the peace of mind.

You will want to understand why they want to pay in advance and their qualification and go from there.  

Give him notice now and start to advertise for a person that will meet YOUR qualifications.3.
