Very aggressive applicants

[William W.]

Anybody else ever have aggressive or creepy applicants? I currently have a house listed on Zillow for rent and I have had several applicants who don’t meet the criteria, yet still are insistent I should rent to them. What really upset me, is last night when I took my dog outside, I found a note on my back porch from someone asking me to call them about my house for rent.  My house is fairly isolated from the street, so this person came up into my yard and onto my porch to leave that note. I have no idea how they found out where I live, other than maybe looking up tax records or using something like Spokeo. I had already emailed this person and told them I had another application pending. This is totally unacceptable to me.

Take my advice, if you list anything in Zillow, DO NOT show your name. Create a fake name if you have to.
