I absolutely collected first, last and security for my class-C rentals until NYS prohibited that practice back in 2019.Many tenants cannot manage their money properly, so this mitigates the issue of not being paid last month's rent when they need to move and the new landlord is receiving those funds they have allocated for their housing during the last month of their stay.This was also helpful to me to pre-screen who has their financial house in order and had saved for their moving costs as part of their planning.If I still could, I most definitely would - without exception.

I was debating this as well, but since this area is not a really hot market I wasn't sure if starting the price off low would work to create a bidding war or not.

Verifying last 2 years of rental history and income extremely important to find the “best of the worst”.Make sure you understand the Class of properties you are looking at and the corresponding results to expect.PM us if you’d like to discuss this logical approach in greater detail!
