That is great screening advice for anyone who owns rentals and is similar to our methods. If it is one of our rentals in town we always put a sign in the yard and leave flyers with the sign. We also tape a flyer on the inside of the window by the front door. On the flyers we include a statement that the potential tenants must pass a background check and a credit report screening. This helps to eliminate some of the non-qualified lookers. We also post an ad on Facebook because that is the go to place in our small town for rentals, for both looking and offering to rent. There is such an extreme housing shortage where we are that we found our tenants for the newly built house before we had to bother with any of that, in desperation they had posted on Facebook ISO a rental.
