Quote from @Bjorn Ahlblad:

You have covered everything well. If it is within walking distance of restaurants or shopping say so. If safe say that too. I would make sure the pics are excellent quality. Good work! Best of luck!

 I don't list all the criteria. I feel it's a little scary.

I just let everyone apply and either say they didn't meet our minimum standards or say a more qualified applicant was selected. 

If they ask I tell them the standards.

What if someone had a credit score one point below your standard but everything else was stellar and 3 months had gone by without a qualified applicant? What if that person didn't bother to apply after seeing the criteria?

I have seen way less people apply when I listed my criteria. 

I want the ability to be flexible after I have reviewed all the applications if needed.
