NEED: Points System Tenant Screening

[Aubrey Page]

I thought I heard on a podcast 079, the interviewee (yes, I messaged her) talking about their points system for tenant screening.  We are renting in a low-income area so a general "no criminal history" and "credit history must be x" or "must have had job for a year" may not be the right approach.  Whereas seeing how many points are deducted may give us a better idea.  With the understanding that certain things are deal breakers.   I am also thinking it may allow us to show that we are not showing any favoritism towards one individual or another if it is numbers based.  Does anyone have an example of this process?

Side note: Had a guy stop by the house today inquiring about the apartments.  He made the mistake about lying about his time in the Navy.  I asked him about what he did in the Navy and he gave such a confusing and convoluted answer that ended something like "I mean...I don't really know what it was called."  Well...I was in the Navy. On ships. Like he claimed he was.  When I told him I was in too I think I saw a flicker of fear in his eyes. lol. Don't lie about that stuff!
