Applicate doesn’t want to let me know credit score or income

[Liz C.]

Hi all , Never happen to me before but for this rental I have on Arlington Texas. Many people doesn’t want to offer me credit score or income over the phone . They want to see it first. The other hand I don’t want to waste my time . Is this normal on Texas? Thanks

Instead of asking them what their income and credit score is.. just tell them what the minimum qualifications are to rent your place. 

For example, Ive told my potential renters that the owner requires a minimum credit score of 650 with a household income of at least double the rent. People will usually respond, no problem I fit that criteria and then we schedule a tour. If they don’t they usually let you know.
