It's the luck of the draw on renter's. We rented our home in Spokane for several years. Had both good and bad (family member was one of the worst) and checking references never helped-we finally had to hire a rental management firm which took care of replacing and fixing all the damage they did. Our neighbor from here moved to Spokane when it was just vacated and she was the best renter we ever had-were so glad when it finally sold. I would never put home up for rental again.
