[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks everyone! What does this mean:

a 60 day notice

What are the signs of a good tenant? The apt is very small but very, very convenient and high security. [/quote]

I'm not sure what the PP meant by 60 day notice -- maybe that the lease should include a clause that after it ends and turns into a month to month lease (that automatically happens in the District) the tenant must give 60 days notice (it's usually 30 days) if they intend to leave?

For signs of a good tenant -- gut instinct, yes, but also:
- good references from past landlords
- long, stable work history (a long time at one, reliable job would be great)
- record of staying a long time at previous rentals (shows they are sort of a nester type)

I also consider it a plus if the tenant tells me they know how to take care of a place because they own/have owned a house.

Also, advertise your rental informally (facebook, neighborhood listserves, fliers in your building/neighborhood). You might get a tenant who is a friend of a friend, or neighbor -- someone you know who vouches for that person.  Not to say that you should exclusively advertise informally, but don't neglect it.
