Tenant tried an old trick on me today. Watch out!
so I took an application from a prospective tenant yesterday. She put down her current address and landlord along with the landlord's phone number. When I called the landlord to ask some questions she was extremely polite and sounded very suspect. I asked her all of the questions that I typically ask and at the end of the conversation I asked if she was the owner on title and she said yes.
Next I pulled up the assessment on the house and it was a completely different owner listed. Different from what the prospective tenant wrote on her application (the person I called). When I ask the applicant did she know the person that I found on title she hung the phone up in my face. I guess she had her friend pose as the owner. This ever happened to anybody??
