I rent two homes and do not check. I collect all rents one month in advance, a $750 security deposit for 1 month plus $250 for each additional month due at lease signing and provide discounts for repeat renters and multiple months. I collect the cleaning fee and ID fee up front as well. I have had over 30 different tenants with only two minor problems. Both were resolved with out issues. A few of my tenants have purchased homes and are now friends. As ohiogirl said, it's a different market.
