@Patrick McGrath thank you very much! That’s a hard lesson to learn for sure with the family. What system or application system do you use to screen your prospective tenants?

@Cordell Martin OMG that is ridiculous. People go to extreme depths to lie sometimes. 
Thank you for the advice though I will not be accepting anything less than that for sure. I can see how that can create problems in the future if you don't have it upfront.

@Account Closed Thank you Sue, that is a very good point. I am currently about to rent out my own primary residence but I am staying local and trying to learn the ropes of managing my own property. 

I appreciate you sharing your experience with me and I also agree with you on what you said about PM.

@Alex Olson Thank you very much, what would you require in a strong pet policy? And how much would you recommend for a pet deposit?

What are some lessons y'all have learned from your rentals that you think nobody should make? Best things to put in your leases?

@Charles Carillo No I have not had the lease written up yet. I was asking to see if there was anything people recommended to add in the lease to protect themselves.
