I get 1200/month in rent for 5 years, with 2400 back in security deposit.

Recently I have been requesting a double security deposit from these type of tenants but most do not follow-up.I would like to know how other landlords check on applicants who are recent homeowners with no rental history .

He has 3 indoor cats (disclosed 2), 3 outdoor cats (ie feeding strays), the previous property manager did not ask for a security deposit, he works on his two junky cars and dirt bike in the driveway (huge oil stains in front of his garage) and he keeps equally mediocre company (not felons...just drinking, smoking...low class stuff). 

The lease say she can move out by giving me 30 days notice but I can keep me 1 and half month deposit .And now she is ask me if I am kind enough to return her deposit if I can find next tenant before she moves out.Is just a lot effort for me to find another tenant and I can't believe she is asking me for deposit back.Should I just star looking for next tenant ?

And you will fight any deduction of your security deposit or liability of this mold.I can't imagine that the technicians would blame you for not opening the window. 

I'm finishing up a book on buying and selling portfolios and will offer my analysis tool on the website.Other income - You can add other income from background checks, pet rent, pet deposits, etc etc.

Right now, I am in the process of evicting someone and since Sept they have provided following excuses..1) Mom has cancer and I have to go to Philly every other week hence late2) Gal at work stole the money from payroll account so none of us got paid3) Payroll dept put the paycheck in wrong account so I didn't get paid. 4) I sent my little boy to deposit the money in your acct (I have given them an account # where they put cash, and I transfer it right away into another checking account, which they don't have access to), but they won't accept the money from him because he is a minor.

I worked into the lease, that a portion of their "ON TIME" rent and their deposit will go toward their down payment.
