Anooying and persistent agent

[Tina Lee]

Hi,

I posted a rental online, and an agent emailed me about his tenant, who has an unqualified credit score (around 600). I already had someone interested in submitting an application, so I did not reply to the agent’s email.

His email included attachments, such as a Fair Housing PDF and other legal documents, which I did not want to engage with. He sent 2 follow up emails, and I took down the listing about three days ago, yet he is still emailing me his client’s information along with the Fair Housing PDF and other documents.

I do not want to deal with pushy people or those who try to pressure me. The applicant I have now has a 720 credit score and is well-qualified.

Can I just ignore this agent since the listing is already removed, or should I formally inform him that the apartment is off the market? I mean what kind of agent will email you 3 emails in 1 week without you even reply to them 

Thank you.

 That's the problem. 

If you are ignoring the agent and not telling him it has already been rented, in his or her's head she is thinking, you have not gotten her email or it went to spam. 

There is no use in you ignoring the agent. That's just an unprofessional way to conduct business. She is obviously trying to help you secure a tenant, although not qualified to your standards, she is doing her job. 

Instead of ignoring her, you should kindly respond to her email and say it has been rented already. You never know. Maybe she might bring you another tenant for another future property that you may need a tenant for. Treat others with respect, and people will respect you back.
