Do potential tenants balk at screening costs?
I'm preparing to show an apartment to several potential tenants tonight and I'd like to run credit/background checks on anyone who applies.
From the services I've explored, it seems your average suite of reports comes in around $35 per adult ($70 per couple). Do tenants ever have a WTF moment when they begin the application process and encounter these fees?
Obviously I have to run the reports, so it's non-negotiable, but curious what feedback you've encountered.
