马上要做房东了，在网上搜到的下面的信息，想问问各位久战沙场的地主和地主婆们，还有什么忠告能分享一下。谢谢

1. Accepting a new tenant without careful, thorough screening.

2. Discriminating when you select a new tenant.

3. Not having a lease or rental agreement.

4. Taking a security deposit without following all legal requirements.

5. Not deleading an apartment when a child under 6 lives in it.

6. Not responding to a tenant’s repair request.

7. Not acting promptly when a tenant stops paying rent.

8. Losing your temper — ever — with a tenant.
