I would either hire a pool service and increase the rent to cover it or leave some very clear instructions for the tenant to follow and some very stiff penalties if they fail.

The instructions was that "if the stated business purpose requires a license to operate, I would have to furnish proof of the license."

@Xavier Hamblin I would instruct our tenants to set up ACH and the bank just directs the payment to our account every month. 

Tenants are advised of this in writing in the lease, and again when they received move in instructions the day before the lease start date.

It should include instructions for payment of rent, contacting you for maintenance and other issues, and perhaps separate instructions for emergencies.
