I have been accused numerous time and it is always a power trip they are playing.

The pre-screen idea is very good...you can make decisions about tenant quality without the tenant being able to accuse you of violating Anti-discrimination/Fair Housing rules.

A Property Manager with hundreds of applicants every year will have to be more open about their processes to avoid a Fair Housing accusation or to survive an audit.

Unfortunately, he decides you're lying to him, calls CPS, police, etc, and accuses you of child abuse.  

My friend was seeking feedback because she is afraid it might be mistaken as a threat or offend the landlord if she shares this knowledge with her and the handyman, while intended for their own protection.....and by the responders above calling her "evil" accusing her of "narking" and "causing trouble for the landlord" and "pulling a stunt like this"....holy smokes, man.....I can see why she'd fear such a misunderstanding.   

Interesting accusations, but nothi nothing to do with the city or mayor as a whole.  

If I ask a tenant where the bed bugs are so I can know where to look and the tenant jumps to accusing me of knowing there are bed bugs because I asked where, then I'M the bad guy, rude and toxic?

The process cannot be any different for them than any of the other interested parties or I can be accused of violating fair housing standards.

I'm glad I followed up, but also very glad that I did not go in with accusations flying. 

She played the victims card: How dare you accusing me of something.That is when i started to get complaints from my other tenants about the constant flow of people coming in the middle of the night on average one per hour.
