Set policies, put them in writing, commit them to memory, and do not waive them:All adults must pass your screening;Nobody moves in without proof utility accounts are established, rent and deposit are paid in full;Rent is due on or before the 1st, period.Late fee is applied on day X, period.3-day Notice to Pay or Quit is filed on day X, period.Eviction filing (forcible entry and detainer) is filed on day X, period.Be prepared to handle lease violations (unauthorized pets or tenants, vehicle parked on lawn, not mowing grass, etc.)A little education and preparation will go a long way.

Would love to share with you our personal app - my husband built a personal finances tracker app as a pet project for us (hellofin.app) and it sends me a text every time money goes in or out of our accounts, and we can add a tag to it (like "christmas gifts" rather than the generic bank terms "shopping").

Are you limiting yourself by not renting to people with pets?

The leases indicate there is a no pet policy but in the MLS photos, a dog food bowl and bucket a water can be seen in the laundry room so I do some more digging.

When these problem tenants moved out (trashed the place), I had to pull teeth to have them put max # of people in the lease, that everyone in the house had to be listed on the lease, etc. etc.

Or would you have a guy who just read two books on dentistry get close to your teeth?

I went out there today and after pulling teeth (ironic because they are dentists) I was able to figure out that they were using a hot plate at the same time as the microwave on the same breaker.

They did include a pet addendum, but some of the forum have indicated those don't fly in NH.

I haven't bought them yet, but in a thread here somewhere, someone mentioned a small tracking device, designed for pets, that could be hidden in appliances.

Make sure every tenant has a lease2. what is allowed and what isn'ta. pets, smoking, number of people in the unit, amount of security deposits, amount of rent/month.
