first tenant experience

Had a perfect potential tenant that said she wanted to rent my current home (now fixing another to move in their) , single, newly divorced lady, no kids, awesome income, background, ect. she applied and went through steps, I told other applicants that house was taken. she went on vacation for a week, another week went by with conversation and then the following Monday she informed me that her situation changed and wont be renting house out. discouraged now but am still hopeful that I will find a good first tenant.

haven't posted on here for a while and figured that I would keep everyone informed

Chris

Never tell people the place has been taken until you sign a lease. Until then, it really hasn't been taken. If the person was interested in it, they can put down a deposit.
