NEED HELP- How to Tell A TENANT he wasn’t selected for my RENTAL

I have a very nice urban property up for rent. The clients that often apply to my city homes have POOR credit.. so I NEVER judge an applicant based on their credit score, I have removed that judgement from my process. I use a third party that simply helps me select the best possible tenant based off a multitude of things.

- 1. I usually have about 15-20 applicants per rental unit, all paying a NON refundable 20.00 fee

2. What do I say? Do I have to say something?? Does anyone have a good basic message I could send out?

3. What do you guys think about this? Please help. I want to be professional but I refuse to keep selecting bad tenants.

4. I PICK WHO I WANT; I pick who I feel is best possible to pay me the rent and has a positive attitude.

Dear candidate I regret to say I went with a more qualified person that best matched my criteria and screening process . Sorry and best of luck for your future endeavors.

It’s not required or any of their business to tell them any more than that -unless your in an ultra liberal state like New Jersey or California . Some states you probably have to spell it why exactly they weren’t picked then you probably need to send them a dozen roses and an Applebee’s gift card for good measure
