Here’s how you could approach this:Set Clear Criteria: Use objective criteria (e.g., income, credit score, rental history) to evaluate applications in the order they are received.Notify Applicants: Let each applicant know you will process applications sequentially and explain your timeline for review.Act Promptly: If the first applicant meets your criteria, move forward with their application and provide them with a clear deadline to sign the lease and pay the deposit.Move to the Next: Only if the first applicant does not meet the criteria or declines the lease should you proceed to the next application.By focusing on one application at a time, you simplify the process, maintain transparency, and mitigate any potential fair housing concerns.Lastly, since housing laws can vary by location, double-check Arizona’s landlord-tenant regulations to ensure compliance with any local rules about how applications are handled.Best of luck with your rental process!

@Matt Weddon, I try not to even think about those types of things UNLESS there is objective documentation or they admit to doing something specific.

I expressed my objection to the rate.

Remember, no system is perfect, so avoid the temptation of constantly chasing after the next shiny object.

We all know about the shiny object syndrome or at least we have heard of it. 

I wouldn’t subdivide based on your objectives.  1.
