No offense, but it means you think you know what you are doing.

I then let them know our requirement is that they make 3x the rent and it be verifiable, that we run a full credit/criminal background, and we check references.

You will make your money back in tenant quality, and lazy criminals trying someone else's property.

I see this type of offense all the time and people always have an excuse as to why the rules don't apply to them...until they do apply to them.

Screening Highlights City criteria would broaden approvals for people with criminal backgrounds.City to reduce income requirements from 3 times the rent to 2 times the rent.City requirement to provide individual assessments will increase cost and likely require legal opinions for denials.City to require a 3 day waiting period before anyone can apply once ads are live.
