This review is from: The Everything Landlording Book: An All-in-one Guide To Property Management (Everything (Business & Personal Finance)) (Paperback)

This book is perfect for the new landlord who knows little about
owning property. The authors explain relations with the local
government and tenants. The book advises landlords never to
shut down utilities, throw out tenant belongings, change locks
without notice, throw out pets or intimidate. Owners are encouraged to respect tenant property and privacy. There is an extensive section on dealing with repair people and researching mechanics liens. Managers are urged to examine the profit/loss statements carefully-taking into consideration all relevant costs. The acquisition is a perfect primer on the mechanics of landlord/tenant relations.

The author lists the Institute of Real Estate Management and
various organizations which assist landlords in screening tenants. i.e. tsi.com
