I would have them complete an application and run a background check. 

Background checks, that's the beauty of listing on FB is you can check out their FB profile & if they have a picture of themselves smoking a bong you can easily skip past that person; if all else fails I know a guy who's wife is a PI and she can run a background check on someone for me for like $20 (it doesn't hurt that she used to work for the state's Department of Criminal Investigation).

I wouldn't charge 10 applicants at once for a background/credit check. 

But are you talking about charging above and beyond the cost of the background check?  

I teach high school and I have a background in graphic design, web design, and social media.

Owen merely indicates my Welsh background. :-)They say you make your money when you buy.

I'm not sure I would if I didn't have that past tax/accounting background. :) Originally posted by @Stace Caseria:@Alina Trigub Yes, you're right about that.

@Del Carreira,Check your state laws, in VA if you live anywhere for over 30-days you're technically a tenant (with or without a lease!).   

Wouldn’t you technically have a double mortgage on the property?

The third unit, however, was technically "illegal" until a FULL new set of permits was drawn to include blueprints/calcs, etc.
