I had a similar situation and we reluctantly rented to a woman and her son. She ceased paying the rent after 5 months, and it not only cost us money in legal fees to evict them, but we never got our money back. Do a thorough investigation and a <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/free-tenant-background-check/" rel="nofollow"> tenant background check </a> on the future renter. It is definitely worth your while.

Noy to say thay this is the case here, but my landlords have experienced problems when they run ads on Craigslist. They find a tenant and rent their units. One landlord I have has two current tenants that owe 3 months rent and have just left. One climbed in through a window, turned the water on and flooded the apartment. This might be an extreme case but it is worth mentioning. As a Realtor, we run credit and criminal checks.check rental history and run criminal checks. When she called the oher day, she told me she is giving up renting herself, since I have provided her with tenants that have not caused her no problems.
