Basic questions include - full name, who all moving in, where do you live now, what's your current rent, why are you moving, any pets, when are you looking to move, what's your job (and those moving in) and income, credit score. then use cozy to background and credit check

Assuming the tenants are month to month with no written lease, you may want to get them on a written lease (even if it is still month to month) so you have something written and you know exactly who lives there and is responsible for what (heat electric etc) also you can forbid smoking (of any kind) and forbid pets, assign parking (if there is any)Assuming no written lease or MTM agreement, what you do is send them a notice you are terminating the tenancy (if you send it out in March it will end it at the end of April) Then you say if they would like to renew the tenancy they need to fill out an application and sign a new lease (even if month to month) and this is what the new rent will be and raise it on both at least to $900 on the 2 bedroom and maybe $50 on the one bedroom).

My current paycheck affords my rent (which is 50% of my net income), which leaves little room to save between food, utilities, helping my wife through college, etc.

Great weather, wonderful people, delicious food!

Many travel with pets so pet friendly is a huge plus.

Labor force participation is high, generally white-collar work, with a mix of food service and part-time jobs (among the college students).

Use to pay basic needs(house payment, car payment, food, gas)2.

Lots of good food, music concerts (covid has slowed those down for the time being) and a really interesting history! 

I did also take a damage deposit and pet deposit.

I told them either way no pets allowed so they requested to move out, which I allowed, I do not need the grief.
