goofy renters in Reno

[Betty Klein]

I recently was given notice by a tenant. November is not a good time to find new tenants in Reno. But when I posted my house, I got 5 applicants in 1 hour, and they keep pouring in. The stories are either their house is being sold or they need a bigger place because the 3 adults and 5 kids plus 2 emotional support pitbulls do not fit in the current accommodation.  They are reluctant to get veryfied- cash basis only. 2 women tried the tearfull approach. I am puzzled.  Do you experience similar tenants, or is this the reaction to the exodus from the Bay Area making housing scarse? The recent expiration of the Nevada eviction moratorium might play also a roll.
