Would you rent this guy?
Would you rent to this guy???
He has a solid full time salary employment of 5 years, makes 3 times the rent, has good credit, no criminal history or even a parking ticket.
His hobbies include partying 6 nights a week, inviting the band over to jam until 5 am, shooting pistols in the front yard, throwing swords through walls, skateboarding on the hardwood floor, parking in the front yard, breaking windows, fans and doors from wrestling matches, smoking cigarettes, breaking bottles and screaming at neighbors..
But he pays on time!
His credit and everything looked good... How can you know? What are the signs?
This guy was me 10 years ago! This picture was my profile on MySpace.
One look at MySpace and the landlord would of seen who I really was!
I search for applicants on Facebook. I found one applicant who turned in the prescreen application and found that she already lied on the application. She left her profile public and liked to post every hour what was going on in her life and it revealed enough to disqualify her based on the criteria that was given to her.
If they leave it private use the info from the application to search out their friends and coworkers who may have public profiles and include pictures and messages.
Yes, that's a loaded 45 auto, broad sword and I am painted with black shoe polish and its about 3am on a Tuesday in 2003.
Me and a buddy rented the 2nd floor of a 2 story duplex near Rice Univeristy.
