Hi Dave Jermaine here, we lay out all the instructions in the add which includes pet info,security deposit info, rent info and application fee info.

About your address never never gave a tenant your home address, we have a post office box but the one with a street address instead of a box number.

We do take personal checks, it usually takes a couple of days to run the application and by that time the is usually cleared.

Hi William Jermaine here, a good friend of mine is in to billboards, from what I understand his tenant pay in advance for the upcoming month, and if he does not get a payment he can suspend there add with a click of mouse.

Ooo William you don't have electronic billboards, you are leaving so much money on the table, upgrade to electronic billboards and you won't have that problem anymore.
