These tenants are screened by the utilities departments and typically are required to pay a deposit to have utilities turned on in their name.

I've always heard and recommend that people screen their PM companies just like a tenant, check their google reviews, ask for references and call the references and see what they have to say, drive by properties they manage and ask tenants how they feel about the management.

Evictions can be expensive if you don's rent it to the right tenant, so do your due diligence and screen your tenants well.Save 10% (or more) of your monthly rent to Capital Expenses and you should be ready to tackle most issues that come up with out a charge card.Best Wishes,Dan

@Bryan Otteson , no, not an LLC. one insurance company had all these questions about how I planned on screening tenants since this will be my first investment property.

In the future you will need to learn how to properly screen applicants and never use anything except a M2M lease.

It can't help, but there's no need to send over a ton of unnecessary info.

I didn't screen them.

I think it might be better to move that popup to the left side of the screen when in the Message center?

I told him it's easy to screen people out.
