1) Smart, successful value adds that would allow you to extract sweat equity.  2) patience to save up the deposit via you income.  

It's also wise to check references from previous landlords to understand their payment history and behavior as a tenant.Once all the information checks out, you can proceed to signing the lease and collecting the security deposit and first month’s rent.Good Luck!

In my experience it helps keep pre-applicants organized and is an actual sight with a google-able name so it doesn't seem as scammy.The background check and credit fee is $30 paid by the prospective tenant but I always tell people applying for my units ahead of time what my credit and background requirements are and that if they pass those qualifications (plus the reference checks) and sign + pay the deposit that I will reimburse them the application fee.

Kraken, a large crypto exchange, was given a banking charter license in Wyoming, where they are opening a physical branch, which will hold 100% deposits in cash reserves.

They're like bank & credit union loans... but with (i) more leverage, (ii) more interest only, (iii) [typically] lower rates, (iv) non-recourse structure, and (v) no deposit requirements / no requirement to start "a relationship". 

I have some auto-denials in the "review phase" based on landlord reference such as numerous late pays on rent, numerous documented lease violations, and move-out damages exceeded collected deposit... but still have yet to enter the "landlord reference/review phase" of my screening process due to the details on their CBR's as noted above. 

You also should have dealt with the security deposit which belonged to BOTH of them at the time.

I'm definitely going to list on both FF and Airbnb, and although AirBnB instant book is preferred by tenants that could be a scheduling nightmare.

Still, no.The next day she feels 10k is reasonable.I initially was inclined to help her with a new bedroom set, and return of security deposit along with not charging the month of september while she finds a new place.My responsibility or not, amicably helping a tenant vacate quickly is in everyone's best interest.

For example, there's an Employment Verification Form, Forwarding Address Form for Deposit Refund, and so forth, that you can request your tenant to fill out.I want to make sure I'm not missing anything (as well as protecting myself) but also don't want to over-burden the tenant.
