Do a quick search for tenant screening sevices. I use one local to me.

Just having the application and screening fee is a good screening tool. Potential renters do not want to pay a fee to be told "No", so just handing them the application and telling them it must be filled out completly is enough to have them take it with them, promising to bring it back later. If you never hear from them again, you win! Already eliminated a problem tenant!

This is an absolute necessity for any rental property.


And always remember:

There are two types of renters- Those that bring stories, and those that bring a checkbook. You want the latter.
