Considering we live in Missouri, I decided to run a free search on CaseNet, a system in Missouri that lets you search for legal records - low and behold, I found our mew tenant and he had an EXTENSIVE criminal history dating back a couple of decades.

Does anyone have any advice on how I can get a policy that is based on the actual value of the building?

My questions are basic like you listed, dates living in unit, have they paid as agreed, would they release to the renter, etc.

If you’re switching PMs, confirm who the county recognizes as your official representative before the court date.
