After having the worse tenants on earth I decided to rent the apartment to travelers Nurses, travelers doctors,and I need to know if I can advertise for adults only no children .

NO you cannot advertise that way no matter what. You can limit NUMBER of people but not AGES.

And you can't limit number if it is unreasonable for the space. For instance a two-bedroom could not reasonably be marketed only to two people. BUT you can remove a bedroom by converting it to an office - remove closet, remove door, do built-ins, etc. and change it to a one-bedroom. Then you can reasonably say only two PEOPLE allowed.

If you're doing it right, you shouldn't need to advertise saying "no kids." What you do is the following:

1) Find out where the folks you want to rent to look for rentals. Think the area hospitals. The probably have resources or resource coordinators for their incoming itinerant staff. In other words, travel nurses aren't looking on Craigslist, so don't advertise there. By doing this you exclude the folks you don't want by default: they aren't looking where your ads are.

2) Charge appropriately. You're probably going to rent out the apartment by the bedroom, I am guessing. So let's pretend this is a 3-bed house. It would normally rent for $2000 a month to a "regular" tenant, but you're going to charge $1200 per bedroom, effectively pricing out anyone looking for a regular rental.

Notice, not a word about "kids" was mentioned. Target your marketing and pricing effective, and the situation resolves itself.

I advertise on Furnished Finder for travel nurses. It is about $100/year to advertise there for one listing.

I stay full. Yes, I have occasional weeks (even a month here and there) empty if the timing is off, but then I get flooded with calls and emails and develop a waiting list. I'm at that point now.

Some of them don't like to pay market rate. They see the rate long term tenants pay and then ask why I'm charging them so much. My response is easy. I include all utilities with the furnished place, as well as furnishings, housewares, internet, TV, linens. All you need to bring is your personal items. Travelers only need to give me 2 weeks notice of moving once they complete their initial full month. If their contract is cancelled mid-contract, I only charge them 2 weeks, not an early lease buy out fee. We are not comparing apples to apples.

My long term apartments in the same building are $700/month with nothing but the 4 walls.

My travelers are paying $1400/month. That includes a $300 utility allowance (never hit that yet), internet, housewares, etc. I spend about $2000 - $3000 per unit to fully furnish each place. Plan to regularly replace linens.

DF,

You can't say no kids but you can limit it to one person. You can also request that one person have at least four years rental history
