Only used Village4rent. From 2011-2022. Long term only. Each home started with one year lease, with option to renew 90 days prior to lease end date. Our average yearly response 65 applications. Narrow to 5 within a week. Ran background, references sometimes can just a a friend or family, not a previous landlord. No Pets, No Smoking.

Of our three rentals the tenants stayed 3-11 years. Zero issues but sometimes gut feelings made our decision, which worked well. We required deposit of one month, plus first and last month rent.

No idea how the market stands today, but the type of home make a difference
