It's not libel if it is factually accurate.

post 15:16 doesn’t seem to have any hard facts backing up their libelous claims against two specifically named individuals.

100%. I would only landlord in VA. MD is bad and DC is notoriously impossible to get a tenant out.

I know you can't predict it, but what could you do better? I am a new landlord in va

Credit checks and references are essential. This is a business agreement - as much as you'd like to help someone who is getting re-established after a divorce/just starting in their career/etc. - use only the info you get from the credit check and the references to make your decision. Ask me how I know.

They send their relatively young family members in (who have undeveloped but not bad credit history and no criminal record) to secure leases. Their well dressed parents often accompany them to further showcase they have family resources. Then after a couple months, they move their family in and stop paying rent. And the different nodes of the families run their own businesses so they can validate employment for one another, and spin up fake web presences if need be. Some even have a family attorney to help them when they eventually are before eviction proceedings.

I won't name names here, but one family has done this well into the double digits over the last 10 years, and even fooled professional management companies, particularly in Alexandria.

I'd just say, make sure you have Renters Unit-Owners Insurance to cover damages and lost rent if a tenant trashes the place on the way out, and if you get in the rental game, make sure you can go 3-to-4 months without rent in case one of these pros gets you. They are VERY hard to spot.

Seems like a very strange way to live.

If you come across this tenant, do your due diligence.

It is essential that as a landlord, you do your own thorough background check on potential tenants, check IDs. Don’t take any documents submitted at face value. Verify and double check everything.
