Mooko King Tenant screening question
18 June 2015 | 16 replies
From my own experience, if I simply stick to these items and know nothing else, I manage an excellent batting average when it comes to tenant selection.First off, if ANY of the adults who will be on the lease have evictions or violent or drug related criminal convictions, I reject the entire group/family.
Brandon C. Custom lease vs basic lease + addendums?

There is also a page they sign that says they are out in 24 hours if there is any drug activity, and another stating if they want to grow their own medical marijuana (legal here) then they have to get their own liability insurance.Things I added include that the tenant is responsible for replacing light bulbs within their unit, they are responsible for clogged drains and my use drano, replacing a missing smoke detector will be $50, no flushing things other than human waste and toilet paper- no flushable wipes specifically.

Dan Shelhamer Section 8

You only have yourself to blame if your tenant doesn't do the right thing, or maintain your property well.I meant with my agent who owns a property in the high class suburbs of Atlanta, and he seems to having if not the same, but more issues with his suburban tenants with drugs, headaches and disputes, then another individual would have on section 8.
