Strange Situtation

[Tom C]

I've got a story. I recently purchased another rehab for rental and when I arrived at the home yesterday to work, there was a note in the door from someone (Calvin) that wanted to either purchase the home or "rent it". I started working and along came a knock on the door and the guy asked me if I was the maint guy, I said no I was the home owner, he looked at me strangely, then mumbled something about having the paperwork finished and he just wanted to see the inside of the home. I told him that it wasn't ready to be shown yet.

So to make a long story short. This guy was approached by this Calvin through a mutual contact and was asked if he wanted to rent my house. The guy that left the note on my door actually took this guy and his wife over to my house and showed the around the outside and then had them fill out a rental app. telling them that the home would be ready to rent Dec. 1st.

My first instinct was to find this guy and kick the crap out of him, but then my second instinct tells me this fool is finding me renters. Although, I don't like the fact that he is coming on my property. Iv'e tried to contact him, but his v/m is full. I think he is trying to sublet my house and he found the ad through Craiglist, which means that he knows how much rent will be and there is no way that he could make any profit on this house by attempting sublet, which I wouldn't allow anyway.

Any idea's on what other type of scam this dirt bag could be running?

BTW: The guy that wants to rent my house out happens to be the brother of one of my tenants.

Thanks
