When renting or leasing rental property you should take into consideration many different factors. First think about everything that is important to you. You should address everything that is important to you to the smallest of details. For example do you care if the tenant smokes ? Do you care if they play loud music at 2 a.m. ? Do mind if they use your apartment for prostitution business? What if they use your property to grow marijuana plants ? Or perhaps they store used motor parts that leak oil and other fluids.
