We charged tenant for remaining life of carpet using the 2-year old receipt, which, along with other damages like screens, siding damage, etc., ate up the whole security deposit, anyway. 

In that case you are just going to cause animosity when none existed because the upstairs will resent the landlord being called.I am sure to screen properly and rent to grown-ups and personally I don’t desire involving myself in drama like other landlords, be they real or pretend.

The tenant screening company engaged by the PM would only share the background check information with the PM - and the PM would not share it with the owner due to privacy concerns. 

These are good and the newer versions/models had facial recognition that snap shots zoomed in faces and sends those faces to your phone which is better than a screen shot of the entire screen because you'll end of going to viewing footage on other notifications (something is at side gate). 

When I screen multiple qualified applicants I do not care about being fair.

In other words, you cannot deny a person using a Section 8 voucher and must include the amount of the voucher as part of their calculated household income for screening purposes.

@Mike Wood do you think that maybe a house flipper would be able to notice more things by actually being inside of the building as opposed to staring at a computer screen?  

It is best to cut your losses and move on and properly screen your tenants in the future.  

Of course, that assumes everything else that you screen for checks outs (background checks, reference checks, prior landlords, employment, income qualifications, etc etc etc.
