    If they rent through an agent then they will give them as the reference not the owner as few tenants have the owners phone number

    If they are renting privately then checking the mobile number on google fb etc to see if it gets any hits that do not align. And ask general questions about the house obtained from the property listing to see if they are familiar with the property.

    If you could list attributes against a tenant to warn other Pms or LLs what would you list?

    My top ones would be:

    Had to chase / pester tenant to pay rent.
    Lied about not having pets.
    Lied about being non-smoker / smoked inside the house.
    Extensive property damage (not general wear and tear).
    Disrespectful towards other tenants and neighbours.
    Very Loud at odd hours.
