Had an applicant who is a real estate agent. SFH listed as 2 year lease, 80 lb dog limit, dogs negotiable/ extra pet security/pet rent. Before she even applied, she was all like why does it have to be your application, why can't it be Smartmove, I explained why, not knowing she and the hubby were the client, then the next day was like "if problems with your online app persist (others were using it just fine) I will use Smartmove, should suffice". I'm thinking, go ahead, I'm still going to make you do ours and I don't reply. She did manage to apply via our app.
On the app they indicate they want a one year lease, and have two 135 lb dogs. So, that’s 270lb of dog. Husbands been at the same job for 30 yrs with a 790, and since I’ve rejected 15 apps over 2.5 months so far for this property, I decide its worth a convo even though she seems like a PITA.
She is like,"Well, I looked in MLS, last time you rented it, you only rented it for a year." Uhm, so what, we do 2 year leases only now.
I tell her it’s going to be an additional $80/month in pet rent for these dogs and the security would be 1.5 months instead of 1…and it’s still a 2 year only lease with no buyout option.
Days later she writes” We discussed the changes you want to incorporate and decided to withdraw our application”. I say,” thanks for letting me know, but those were not changes, that’s how it was listed!”
