Responding to a Rental Inquiry

[Stephanie Gledhill]

Does anyone have a canned response that they use to reply to tenant inquiries or do you speak to them personally? Aren't you basically asking them the questions on the application like how many people are going to live in the house? Why are you moving? Do you meet the minimum income requirements? etc.... 

Do you make them pay the fee for the application before showing it to them? I'm using Avail and it's $55 to process the application.
