We have been truly blessed with the renters that we do have. They have taken excellent care of our rental home. I do have them fill out an application and I thoroughly check them out. Even call their employers to verify employement and attendance. We won't just rent to anyone. We also don't mind picking up the rent....it gives us a chance to speak with them, find out if there is anything needing attending to and to give the house a quick look over. It's in the contract that we can do this. We do call and try to make it accomodating for them, but after all, it's our house.
