They don't know how to screen applicants and choose the wrong ones.

The windows that they use for this application are not standard windows.

I screen applicants based on set criteria for debt-to-income ratio/credit score, apartments.com is a great tool to manage applications, background checks (the applicants pay for both through the site), i have a google number specifically for the property.  

One of the questions on the URLA is "Are you a co-signor or guarantor on any debt that is not disclosed on this application?"

A lot of online "applications" through popular sites like Zillow or others will either redact this or will delete the application.... not idea.

Not a solution, but going forward...Have all adult tenant prospects fill out applications which require their social security number, driver's license number, their birth date, their current address and their prior address.

We recently listed a property on Zillow and the applicant is strong but it’s the mother of the person that will actually be living there.

Below you can find a quick FAQ sheet of the updates they have implemented and will be implementing soon.Quick Overview: - The cost of application fees has increased- Platforms will remove listings without legitimate permit numbers- Platforms will have to remit the Hotel taxes directly to the city of San Antonio (Operators still have to file revenue reports monthly)- STR operators can change the operator of the permit without a new application being required (it seems the permits are still non-transferable upon sale, however)- Updated Party Prevention measuresMy Take:This should weed out some hosts that have not been abiding by the permit requirements.

-Sugest getting/using GoogleVoice number as you can track/respond on a computer and it separates personal call from business.2) What Rental Application will you use?

In SFO, landlords get dozens or hundreds of applications for each new lease.
