since my rental properties are in another state, i recently engaged Renters Warehouse in MN to get a new tenant for me. They charge 1 month's rent to do that. The agent I'm dealing with does not pursue renters with less than a 600 credit score. They guarantee their tenant for the first year. previously, i had used craig's list to find tenants and they are hit or miss. and, yes, previous landlords do lie.
