@Luka Milicevic have you ever had trouble with the lock box? I.e. people damaging the apartment while touring or coming back after an stealing or vandalizing stuff? 

Also what class of market are you in? My property is definitely D class.

I actually did pre-qualify these applicants and I used turbotenants questionnaire form. It’s very similar to Timothy’s form above. 

Thanks all these suggestions are helpful.

Thanks that’s helpful. 

Anyone have any tips on how to increase the number of people who actually show up to view an apartment after scheduling an appointment  

I set up three showings tonight sent a reminder email 24 hours before and only one of the three showed up.

As an additional interest do you also receive a copy of the insurance policy? i.e so you can verify liability coverage amount, whats covered, ect?

@Greg M. Just to clarify you don't want to be named additional insured because then you can't file a claim against the tenants liability coverage (because you are effectively a party to the insurance)?

@Greg M. Thanks that's helpful.

I am now requiring all tenants to get renters insurance. I requested proof of insurance from a tenant and they gave me a policy number (no copy of the policy or anything). Do others require a copy of the actual policy? How could I even verify this policy number?

Also does anyone periodically check to make sure tenants are maintaining their policy? If I were to make them add me as a beneficiary to there policy would I be notified when/if they cancelled their policy?

Thanks,

I should add that my biggest concern is that the bugs spread to other apartments in the building.
