To choose or not to choose

[Cedric Mitchell]

Hi everyone I have a question. I have a potential tenant that came for the apartment showing and is really interested in the apartment. The problem is that a friend that was with me mentioned to me that he knows the potential tenant and her family and that they're trouble. So my question is, how do I get out of even letting the tenant complete the application process or is that not even an option? Please help and Thanks!

You can't really prevent them from doing the application process. So let them (if they even follow through and complete it). They will probably disqualify themselves.

I had the same warning. The person gave a complete application, but failed to also provide the required supplement info such as proof of income (pay stubs and such). Even if they did, they probably wouldn't have made the 3X amount of rent required. 

Don't worry.
