Facebook Marketplace and a question

Jim Bryant
Posted

I just wanted to extol the virtues of facebook.  Even in my crummy little area I got about 10 people interested in the home in a few days.  Also, I was able to look at their facebook pages.  So a question to you well-heeled landlords, have you ever rejected someone on the basis of pictures of them using drugs on their facebook page?  If so, how did you word that.  I mean I'd like to be blunt (no pun intended) but I don't want to somehow get myself in trouble.  Although I don't think "weed smoker" is a protected group.

Has anyone else gotten a flood of responses in Spanish from a Facebook rental ad? I'm not sure why it's happening, other than the rental is in Florida. But the majority of messages are from people who never read the ad (asking what the rent is, where is it, how many bedrooms, etc.). 

I've only used Craigslist, Trulia, Apartment.com, Realtor.com and Hotpads before. Is this worth it? I'm thinking no. The staggering ignorance of the potential tenants is mind blowing.
