I highly recommend using https://www.rentspree.com/

They provide a application and also run credit check, background, & eviction report. The only thing that cost money is the credit check but you do have the option to have the client pay for it or you can cover it your self. You can send them the request through email or TXT message it saves me a lot of time when I am trying figure out what my renters are qualified for. Give it a try and see if it works for you. Good luck!

From what I understand they should be able to be covered under the same insurance policy that covers the rental. The policy should cover what is in the property and not what belongs to whom, But double check with your insurance provider. To me it does not makes any sense to pay for two polices that covers the same items in the home unless one of the tenants wants more coverage for high priced items like jewelry, art, etc. 

It could be possible that this is the first time your tenant has had to pay for the water bill, many landlord cover at least one utility the most common would be the water bill. They might want you to take over the bill but that is up to you. They might also be trying to claim that something is broken and you are refusing to fix it which leads to them with holding rent. You never know with tenants and I pray this is not the outcome. Just make sure you have proof (work orders, recites, emails, documentation) that everything is in tip top shape and keep an close eye on that tenant and the property.
