NEED HELP!

I charge 20.00 APPLICATION FEE ( non refund ) and then pay a third party to HELP me choose the BEST possible tenant for the UNIT.

Credit usually isn’t a big factor

However, I always have to reject around 15 people

Help me! What do I do?

Do I need reasons? What do I say?

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.

@Dennis M.

Lol.. this won’t work. Especially after you said, “ yeah we don’t care to much about credit “

@Steve B.

Exactly, the old grinch lady commented something so invalid.

- you NEVER have to accept a tenant, even if they met on paper qualifications.

- You can Accept MANY applicants and run reviews on them and deny them ALL of you do not have a good feeling or think they will last as a tenant

- 90 percent of states are on the landlords side as far as the LAW goes. Only thing landlords get screwed over is in EVICTION COURT

@Deanna McCormick

Hate to say this to you, but you truly missed the point of responding to this post.

We aren’t wondering what the equal housing law states lol. That’s been a round forever and 99.99 percent of people follow it. Color or religion doesn’t matter to 99.99 percent of landlords

Landlords want solid tenants. Good paying tenants. They could be black or pale white. Doesn’t change a landlords mind.

The man who originally started the thread was wondering what’s the best way to tell multiple APPLICANTS they aren’t accepted

- you are incorrect about

Your “ application laws “ there is no such thing. You can process 200 applications if you want, but yes, there can ONLY BE ONE SELECTED OBVIOUSLY. There is nothing illegal about that.

@Caleb Heimsoth

Smart advice but also very negative advice.

Financing isn’t always difficult lol.

Real estate and financing go Hand and HAND...

@Sib Bahjat what do you say to them when you have chosen someone else
