I am checking the landlord assoc out and looks like they would cover everything a LLwould need? Do you guys have any experience with them? Good or bad? Esp as far as tenant screening and their available leases? TIA

I’d recommend looking closely at what’s actually included in their “all-in-one” bundle before assuming it covers everything. In tenant screening especially, not all reports are created equal. Screening is your first line of defense in reducing rental risk—cutting corners there can cost far more down the road.
Cheaper report costs usually mean cheaper data: automated pulls, incomplete records, and no human review. The best screening programs layer in things like verified identity checks, income and employment confirmation pulled directly from payroll or bank data, and rental history verification that goes back several years. Those extra steps catch fraud, false documents, and applicants who might otherwise slip through.
In short, don’t just “check the box” because a package looks convenient—make sure the data behind it is accurate, current, and reviewed by people who understand housing compliance. That’s what actually protects your properties and your bottom line.
