Renting My Place Out - Need Pointers On How To Pick A Tentant.

(1/4) > >>

Savannan:
By years end, I'm goin to rent my place out....I found a 2003 stick build/3 bedroom/2 bath/2 car garage/full unfinished basment house that I'll be moving into, But I'm scared has hell that I'll get some low-lifes in here that will make excuess after excuess about how they can't pay for the month,  I've put ALOT of time and $$$ into my place and it would just kill me if they trash it.

Has anyone rented out their place before?  What should I look for in a tentant.

I heard that I can do credit checks, but is there a web site for landlord's to pull up a credit history?

Any help would be very much appriciated!!!

Credit check and reference check usually do it.  Not many people with good credit, good references, and have first/last/security in hand are going to trash your place.

I'd feel much better renting to a girl than to a guy, but that's just because I know who I treated some places in the past.  Make them work a bit to qualify for the place.  Those with something to hide or too lazy to maintain place properly hopefully won't go all the way through the application process.

Luck.

I've known plenty of girls who would make terrible tenants.

SavannahLion:
Draw up a contract. Depending on the state you live in, I strongly recommend you read and review the rights of the lessee and lesser for your respective state. There's a really good book series, I'll have to look in my library and get the title.
