That all worked out perfectly but am now doing another long term lease and was just curious if I need to do more to protect myself and house. Thoughts/suggestions? Thanks
Collect a sizeable security deposit. Ask for the first month's rent and the last month's rent at least 60 days before move in. Make sure you are checking on your property at regular intervals... best of luck to you!
