Animals can be a nice source of income if screened properly.

I love investing, but screening tenants has to be (for me) the worst part of investing.

I had him fill out a bunch of pre-screening questions that I pulled from this forum like intended stay, why are you leaving current place and everything checked out.

So, I am looking for a new screening company; I was using a company my husband got from a friend a few years ago that has never come up in any "what tenant screening company do you use" search I've done.

It is their job to find a sub-leaser in the event of a mid lease move out, and your job to screen and accept the new tenant.

(Which is just another word for "indenting".As I said before, QuickBooks does everything in outline form.You have classes and a sub class:You have customres and jobs Every time you indent in QuickBooks it is called either a subaccount or a job or a sub class.In your Chart of Accounts you will have the Header (Category) and sub Accounts underneath the Header or (Category) Headers and indenting.In the Class feature which keeps track of your individual properties, you list the property as a class, and then (if it's apartment building) you would list the units inside the apartment building as a sub class, (indenting) as the screen shot shows in my other post.

Tenants you screen and place will see you as the authority from the beginning. 

Keep her deposit and move on, try to get it re-rented as quickly as possible, learn for future screening.

After all the reading / info from BP, I made a set of rules to manage my tenants through screening, lease language, and a fair but firm approach.  

Sellers placing new tenants should always be questioned by the buyer. 9 time in 10 the tenant will not work out due to lack of screening standards consistent with your own.Whether the tenant is testing or not is irrelevant.
