Great! And I agree that after seven years here, TV folks are terrific. So, the likelihood that a new renter will have good luck is higher here than a lot of other places. I just think renters should ask a lot of questions before sending private parties their money. I do not believe the 4rent website offers any recourse to unsatisfied renters, nor do they carefully monitor what owners advertise. For example, after looking at 4rent properties recently I found three claiming they had swimming pools, while the owners were referring to the community pools down the road.
