What do you think of this rental application?

[Chris Weiler]

My business partner and I started taking rental applications through this online rental system and have had some interesting replies. Below is one of those responses. All the personal identifiers including the city have been taken out. I have to give her points for being honest but….

“Hello, I am a divorced mother of 10 children who is trying to find a home, which has been a task. For some reason, my family size intimidates many. All we need is shelter with a Landlord who will do the necessary repairs if needed, and not let his/her home fall apart. I've only been in (city) since 1/2009, and we have moved 4 times. We have to move again because my current Landlord wanted to use his key when he wanted. When I wrote a letter stating he has to give me 24 hour notice, we've had bad blood since then. Its gone so far to him not paying the last tenant's water bill, and we are locked out due to no water. I don't know if you are willing, or even care, I just thought I give looking one more shot before I rip my children from (city). I appreciate for patience in reading this. Please give me a call at your earliest convenience.â€

10 kids and it will be her 5th time moving in 2 ½ years…. I feel for her, but it’s not going to happen.
