Question about Pre-Tenant Questions
Hello again, BiggerPockets!
When scheduling a showing with a potential tenant, or during the showing, is it ok to ask the potential tenant the age of their children (if applicable)?
Thank you in advance!

ask age nope, how many yes, but you can point out local schools, and might get some feedback from that..
if they got kids, they got kids..
Names of kids and birth-dates go on lease also,, so John Smith, Minor child x/xx/xxxx and they are considered occupant no matter what age.
