mobile carrier reception for your properties

[Sam Leon]

I have a rental applicant telling me the reason she is moving is because she can't stand the poor reception at her current place. Dropped calls in the middle all the time, internet surfing timeouts, she has to go outside to take calls, often times incoming calls go to voice mail without ringing.

She has been on her current place less than a month, she intends to break the lease and lose the security deposit if that's what it takes.

I do understand checking signal strength of your mobile carrier of choice while u are there may not be something many people are mindful of. Even then that may vary during the day and where you stand or which direction you face. Coverage map web sites don't help either because you go outside walk ten steps and you have five bars.

So...do you ask your applicant to double check their carrier during the showings?

Do you say "Lightning fast with AT&T 4G LTE but 0.5 bar if you climb on the roof top on your best day of the week with T-Mobile!!!" on your rental ads?
