One thing I look at is what kind of car are they driving and the condition (do they maintain it). Their car is probably the most expensive thing they own. If they don't take care of their on property they sure as hell won't take care of my property.

well thats stupid. some poeple keep the car until it falls apart

I agree, and an old car doesn't always mean poor or slobby, but when looking at possible rentals, we always take the newest car we own and make sure it is clean. It is an unavoidable part of your presentation, just like the clothes you are wearing and whether or not YOU are clean and well-kept.

background checks, credit checks and not accepting government rent assistance. if its your place, you get to pick who lives in it. its not a matter of discrimination, its a matter of picking people who will not destroy your property.

QFT.

A good background check will usually give you enough information to sort out the chaff from the wheat.
