My tenant prospect has a good income above 100k working fulltime (verified) and background check looks good, however she has an active Chapter 13 with local court.

Longer you delay longer filing with the courts the longer she gets to live in your house for free.

Leases should be State specific (we use Wisconsin Legal Blank for all forms) and mature / well-litigated, meaning court-tested.There are very little synergies to integrate these systems.

Obligations under contract can be “enforced” by a court of law.  

Essential functions of the government still function, many folks still are required to go to work, and those who are furloughed (ie, sent home and told not to come to work) are effectively taking a vacation; they will receive full backpay once Congress gets its act together to pass the government funding bill.

If so, and is so determined by a court, then there no longer exists any title issue.  

Per the subject, I now have a tenant in New Orleans who has threatened to sue me in Small Claims Court for withholding his security deposit of $1200.

Only the administrator (or the court via order under certain circumstances) can convey an interest in real property that needs to be probated, such as that of a deceased tenant in common like this ex-wife.

A functional AirBNB is not necessarily and optimized one.

Adding those searches can uncover major red flags that credit alone would miss.Keep cross-checking public records.What you did with the court site was exactly right — sometimes that’s the only way to catch recent filings before they hit standard databases.If you combine identity verification, income verification, verified rental history, and judgment/lien searches, you’ll catch most of the issues before lease-up.
