Potential tenants rushing you for answer on application

[Bernard B.]

This may have been addressed previously, but I will state it here anyway. Please be aware of any potential tenants who rush you to make a decision on their applications. If they call you five or six times a week and ask you if you made a decision yet on their application, be aware that they may be hiding something. In my experience, I found out that they had a criminal background, previous evictions, sex offender records, and generally they try to do a power play to establish control over the landlord/rent collector. Please be thorough and take your time when you are screening tenants, it will pay off in the long run.
