People aren’t showing up to scheduled viewings.
Hey everyone. The rental market around socal is definitely getting tighter. Recently I keep noticing prospective tenants not showing up to open houses that they rsvp to. Obviously this is frustrating for many reasons.
Does anyone have any tricks or ways to incentivize prospective tenants not flake on the unit viewings?

I schedule all showings on the same day to avoid the back and forth and so it's not so much of an issue if they don't show, which is pretty common. I also have them complete an extensive application first and then invite. Weed out the tire kickers.
