Hi 

Do we  just supposed to accept previous evictions because it is comes with the area? Have you dealt with this in this area?

Hi 

N. German church and 38th. Newer home area.  Yea past the 465. Cant seem to find someone with without a previous eviction filing. I am thinking it is the norm for that area of a tenant pool  =/

Hi 

There seems be an extremely high number of eviction filings from  rental applicants in this  particular area.....

It doesn't have anything to do with the rental house nor the rental amount. 

Does anyone own rentals in this area? How do you mitigate the risk?

Do you just deny all applicants with previous fillings for evictions? ( even if the eviction was not completed)  It seems like 99% of applicants have a filing with the court system. 

Is there a certain amount of time that passes, in which you are ok with a previous eviction?

When you use a program like Transunion smart move do you know if it picks up evcition filling or an actual eviction that has been completed? 

Do you all think that an eviction filling  is equally bad as an completed eviction? ?

I m suspecting property management companies file the eviction notice right after the 3 day notice, but the tenant pays up and stay in the rental. 

 Ok.. thanks.. I am just beginning to think that there are so many evictions in this area that every landlord in this area must deal with a tenant that has a court filling for one. 

Uggh.. Thanks for the info

It seems like a B area. I have applicants fill out a form. All select never evicted, but their names do show a court filling for eviction. I think many are selecting never evicted, because they never were formally evicted, but there was a filing for an eviction. is that more acceptable?

 I just lowered the  $30( recently) so the listing will meet more potential tenants search criterea. What do you think about doubling the security deposit? ( Athough this might be hard, because most just meet the 3x income rule)
