Am I scaring away potential tenants?

Maria Crenshaw
Posted

I have a condo listed for rent on all the major sites. I'm getting a fair bit of interest but every tenant who inquires disappears as soon as I share the following qualification standards with them. Am I scaring them away or is this just good filtering?

Qualification Standards

Applicants must meet minimum screening standards to be considered:

 Applicant must have current photo identification and a valid social security number.

 Applicant's monthly household income must exceed three times the rent. All income must be from a

verifiable source. Unverifiable income will not be considered.

 Applicants must receive positive references from all previous landlords for the previous 5 years.

 Applicant may not have any evictions or unpaid judgments from previous landlords.

 Applicant must exhibit a responsible financial life. Credit score must be a minimum of 600.

 A background check will be conducted on all applicants who are or will be 18 years old while living in the

home. Applicant’s background must exhibit a pattern of responsibility.

 Applicant must be a non-smoker.

 Occupancy is limited to 2 people per bedroom.

 Pets are not allowed.
