Make sure you take time to call your prospective tenants references and run a credit and background checks. Too many landlords panic if they have a vacant apartment and rush to fill it. Instead they should take the time to make sure the prospective tenant is a better option than an empty property. In addition, if you can, landlords might want to drive by a prospective tenant’s current home. This gives you a great indicator of what your property will probably look like when that tenant lives there.
