Answer 4

you are what we call an absentee landlord.

You are playing with fire renting with the sytem you are using. You could be held responsible if one or more of your tenets are drug peddlers or worse cooking or growing drugs on or in your property. Drug materials are toxic.

You may want to contact an agency which not only collects an deposits your rents, but can do inspetions before and after a tenent moves, if yu pu it in your contract you can also have them do visual inspections and upkeep inspections frequenly. Yes it costs money, but so do law suits, and you don't want to bcome a slum lord.  We frown on those
