They have patterns to mimic tile or wood that look realistic.

From what I can tell, they take your average usage patterns from the past year and size the system such that it will be slightly higher than your average usage.

I'd give them a chance and ask some more questions.One thing I look for in their credit history and in their civil court filings is for a pattern of behavior.

Rather they have a life pattern, personal life decisions, friends they hang out with, etc. that eventually leads to this outcome.

@Shane Elias-Calles that’s a negative ghost rider, the pattern is full.

I went to a patterned sheet from Target for the kids' room. 

There are similar communication patterns leading all the way to this month.

Her being late in the past doesn't really have anything to do with her being late this month - except to show a pattern.

Hoping someone has experienced the same thought patterns, heard of a similar situation and just hoping to get some dialogue on what makes sense/best path forward.

Write it down.After about 10 calls you may see a pattern, or what most seem to be doing.MAYBE that is where you would want to TRY (and see what kind of renter apply).Also keep in mind, different places attract different tenant bases.
