Rental property process

[Christy Philippoff]

Hi everyone!

We have a house up for rent and this will be the first time we are renting a house without going directly through the military. What process do y’all use to handle applicants? For example: do y’all take the first qualified applicant that you get? Do you have a “showing” period where you show the house for a week, then review applicants the next week, and then decide? We posted our house to Zillow and Craigslist and within a week has about 30 calls and 15 viewings. We don’t know what process works best!! Thank you all so much for any advice!

I like to set up the applicants through Cozy.  To avoid issues regarding discrimination and all that, I use a first come, first serve process.  Meaning that I usually rent it to the first person that meets my minimum requirements and has good references.  Good luck!
