Tenant of 2 years was discovered to have a dog in a no-pets rental. 

I once had someone move in to a no-pet rental.

He’s in very poor health and likely will not survive much longer (3-6 months).

When someone messages on Facebook, I send a copy/paste of the same response to everyone that the house is still available and if they are interested in viewing the home to complete the pre-screening application (with the link attached)Another think this does for me is I am able to match up the Facebook profiles with the applications received and yes of course I look at what they post and what there photos show as the kind of person they are, if they have pets they didn't mention, are always drinking in photos or drug use, etc I did a quick search and found the original thread and have attached it to this response, I certainly can't take credit for this awesome idea.  

I follow a tough but kind approach in life and business. keep in mind even though I am sure Jim owns a lot of his own rentals.. he is a very large PM so its not his call he is working for his clients and owes a fiduciary to them to remove non paying tenants as quick as possible holidays health does not matter.. its his job its what he gets paid to do. 

I think you were being way too nice prorating their rent when u had a working furnace..... unless the furnace is some kind of a safety or health hazard....... you shouldn’t have to replace it, and I agree with Brian Larson, if they are misusing property because they don’t like the furnace, I would make them pay for repairs......or evict them.

When I closed on the property I had the tenants fill out a rental application stating the number of occupants, their names, pets, etc.

Especially because she has pets.

Health reasons will not allow them to climb stairs, more demand for 1 story properties and they will make excellent tenants.  2.  

So even though him and I are literally investing 30-60 minutes apart, we are investing in areas where the demand for condos, how they are run, the financial health of the condos in general varies greatly.If condos are a viable investment in your market, you want to look at some things.
