Renting My Place Out - Need Pointers On How To Pick A Tentant.
ark_ader:
I used to get tentants when I went backpacking. It was not a very nice experience. They get everywhere, in your clothes etc.
I stopped leaving food around before bedtime, and just put it in zip lock bags. That solved it.
Seriusly you ned a spelchuker PBJ.

Speaking of that, what does the lower part of the sign say? I've been curious but my eyes fail me.

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

That's why you should rent it to a WOMAN :)

I've been renting out my old house for 7 years now and I used to be a property manager for an apartment buiding. It is a royal PITA. That said, Run a credit check and charge the prospective tenant for it. I charge $20 per adult. I don't make any money on it but I'm not out of pocket either. It also weeds out those who arn't serious. I also have them fill out an application which I send to the Credit check agency. I get a report back that tells me how much outstanding debt they have and if they have any evictions. I don't care about credit score...if they don't pay their bills they won't pay you either. Lastly CALL employers and references.
By nature tenants don't take care of a place as well as homeowners just part of the game. Specify who does yardwork and repairs.
I use a rental agreement that is set up by the Realators association. I have to buy them but it covers just about everything imaginable.
In california you can charge first and last OR first and a security deposit but not both. But you can set your deposit up to double the rent. I make it a bit more than the rent so as to disuade my tenants from wanting me to use the deposit for the last month rent. I could go on and on...
