2. Approving a tenant who has not submitted to a thorough background check. Good credit, income and excellent rental references, help ensure a successful tenancy.

4. Permitting a tenant to perform work on your home in exchange for the monthly rent. Experience has shown that this arrangement can lead to disaster. Don’t be set up for liability.
5. Accepting pet breeds that are known to be aggressive. Check with your insurance carrier for a list of restricted breeds.
