No matter how eager you are to rent out your house, having no tenant is almost always better than having a bad tenant, as they can cause you more headaches and costs than they are worth. Make the property more appealing to good tenants, by rent reductions or improvements, instead of loosening your tenant screening standards. Choosing someone to occupy your house, especially if you are going to resume living in it later (but also just to preserve its future sale or rental value), is a big decision that should not be entered into lightly. Establish a rational, detailed, fair (and legal) screening process beforehand to find the best tenant for your house. Asking a couple questions and then handing over the keys is not sufficient and invites disaster. Use your instincts regarding potential clients, but also verify all the information they provide. Create a standard application form, which includes spaces for name; date of birth; Social Security number; contact information; previous addresses for at least five years; current and previous employers; emergency contacts; a "release of information" statement (which permits you to follow up with past landlords and employers, etc.); and a signature. Templates are available online. Make sure the application is filled out completely. Charge an application fee if desired see what is common in your area. Follow up on the information, verifying employment and income, and contacting all recent landlords. Pay to do a background check (the application fee can cover this). Rely on an established company to verify information about your potential tenant. Smartmove, for instance, is operated by TransUnion and offers a straightforward process. Even if it is not your intention, there can be a fine line between being selective in your potential tenants and appearing to be discriminatory. The last thing you need to be facing while trying to rent out your house is a federal discrimination complaint. It is your responsibility to know and obey all applicable fair housing laws. In the U.S., federal code prohibits housing discrimination based on race, color, sex, national origin, religion, disability, or family status. It's best to not even ask questions along these lines. You cannot ask questions about marital status, how many children a family has, a person's religion, who will share bedrooms, if a person has a disability, what a person's disability is, or the gender of the tenants. You can ask how many people will reside in the house and let them know that anyone over 18 will be screened before they are allowed to move in. Keep copies of all completed applications, and put your rejection notices in writing and keep a copy. Explain clearly why you have turned down a potential tenant (insufficient income, a recent eviction for damage to an apartment, etc.). For the tenants you choose, provide a rental agreement that fulfills the legal requirements where you live. Templates can be found on sites like http://www.uslegalforms.com/ or https://www.ezlandlordforms.com/. Conduct a walk-through inspection before handing over the keys, and have the tenant fill out a report that also adheres to local requirements. Take pictures for additional evidence of the condition of your house before move-in.

One-sentence summary -- Don't take chances. Carefully screen applicants. Obey the law.

Q: Before they are ripe, cotton bolls are closed up and resemble large seeds. They are greenish brown in color and often solid. Once the plant goes into bloom, it develops the white, fluffy cotton. If you are using a cotton picker, wait until the majority of your crops have exposed cotton balls. This way, you can maximize your yield. Cotton is typically planted in April. In general, it takes 150-180 days from planting until cotton is ready for harvest. If you live in an area with warm temperatures in the spring and summer, your cotton should be ready for harvest by the end of July. Do this if you live somewhere with very warm springs and summers. Local weather and growing conditions cause the cotton to develop faster or slower depending on your particular region. If your cotton is not ready for harvest in July, let it grow until the bolls open up. This on average occurs throughout the fall if you live in an area with more mild spring and summer weather.
A: Harvest your crops when the bolls open up and expose the fluffy cotton. Start harvesting cotton in July if you live in warm climates. Pick cotton through November if you live in cold climates.
