How can i scare new tenants so they take my lease seriously?
My last tenants called me and my lease was a "joke".

You are in the right place!
Join the LPA and get the power of the LPA lease and all the forms ... but I caution you, you also need to READ THE LEASE AND THE LPA ARTICLES to be a stronger landlord.
To answer your more specific question,
1. you should read the lease section by section TO THE TENANT so they understand what they are supposed to be responsible for.
2. ALSO make the tenants sign the CREDIT REPORTING DISCLOSURE TO TENANT... If that does not scare a tenant with good credit into paying on time I don't know what will.
They say you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.
(No I'm not calling you a horse! ;) Good luck

I have the lease signed on each page, and each paragraph is initialed by the tenant and myself. I ask them on each paragraph if they understand, if they need any additional information about each item.
I offer a copy of the lease when they put the reservation deposit down. I want them to have lots of time to read it.
They will acknowledge (by their initials) that they agree to each and every item.
I once had a judge dismiss part of the lease because he claimed I needed to have separate agreement for that item..so now, I take no chances..every single thing is initialed.
