Prospective Tenants, Application Submission & Deposit To Hold
14 August 2016 | 10 replies
A very small percentage of these folks actually reestablish contact and proceed with the application.Pros: (1) ABC "Always Be Closing" - ask for the "sale" at the closing on someone who seems solid; "A" tenants don't have a chance to get placed by someone else in the meantime or flake out when it comes to meet for the receipt of the deposit to hold(2) Streamlines the process IF the applicants check out (see below)Cons: (1) sketchy people have dressed nice and behaved long enough for me to accept their deposit (and then I am aghast when I start doing my screening) which finds me awkwardly returning the deposit on someone who was quite as good in reality as they claimed on paper(2) no time to do proper due diligence before accepting moneyI know some landlords take several apps (either all at one showing or in series over several showings within a day or two, then contact their "best choice" to offer the unit to them.My concern is there is a delicate dance that needs to be executed with great applicants, as they are looking for a place for the next month and can't sit idly waiting for a landlord to call them after reviewing their application.

Hey all,I know the countertops question has been asked quite a bit, but wanted to get some answers from people who have installed butcher block (Ikea specifically) in their rentals and how they have held up.My kitchen will have terracotta tiles, so I'm thinking white cabinets with a light, neutral colour for the walls.

Letting Tenants Paint?
28 July 2015 | 16 replies
Naturally we are not enthusiastic to paint units in one-off colour schemes.Usually once or twice a year we get a tenant who asks to paint a room (usually a bedroom) or, occasionally, most of the unit, colours of their choosing.
