I just picked a tenant with a 7 month old child over a 4 year old husky. 

Pretty confident about that decision.

I was thinking this exact thing while I was walking through an applicant yesterday. They mentioned their husky is shedding due to the spring warmup and they continuously have hair on their socks. I would love to see if that is representative of their overall cleanliness. I imagine a shedding husky would be difficult to constantly clean up after when it's shedding after winter so I give them some credit there but would still love to see how their place is kept.

@Roy N.

Do you reduce your rent by the $1.50 if they complain? I imagine some people might put up a fuss.

Our banks in Canada offer email bank transfers. Very convenient.

There's usually a small transaction fee.

Great points everyone, thanks.

Thanks for sharing your experiences. I'll make sure I pay close attention to detail when I meet with the applicant.

Hi guys, I just had an applicant for a rental unit who has owned his own home for the last 3 years and doesn't have any landlord references. Would I just fall back on the credit/background check? If he wasn't paying his mortgage on time it will show up on the credit report.

I do have alot of other applicants who have references. Would I be safer selecting one of these?

Thanks,
Greg

Yes there are two windows 30" wide just on grade. Both a bit taller than 15".

Hi Gwen, the house is a 3 bedroom with one room downstairs converted to an exercise room. It can technically still be used as a bedroom, just doesn't have a closet.  I like the list as well, I'm definitely going to start using a take home pay vs. gross pay for the income qualifier.

@Steven E.

Thanks so much, this is great info. It's reassuring to know what methods others are using. Really appreciate it.
