Application before showing?
Hey all. First time landlord, listed my condo for rent about 10 days ago - Zillow and Cozy. I've had about 10 inquiries through Zillow. I respond with a link to a Cozy application and state that we can schedule a showing after you complete the application. I also state that I'm waiving the background check requirement until after a showing can be conducted - making it a free application. So far I've had no applications. Is it unreasonable to require an application on the front end? I know I'm probably gating a lot of prospects with this requirement, but I don't have time to deal with tire kickers.
