Is the tread resting on the riser making it unsafe to step on Or is the riser decorative?

But she still has a couple Halloween decorations out.

Most people are able to look beyond the current decor, and I feel like it can give them an idea of how things would fit in the apartment as well- almost like free staging...In a few cases, I haven't been able to show the apartment while occupied, but these are apartments that need a lot of work before they are ready for a new tenant and I do typically show apartments while we are working on them.  

Lose cute little tables and do very little pictures they will decorate to taste if they are there for months.  

She even consults and she'll decorate and find furnishings, find someone to meet and greet and clean, you name it.  

-laminate (preferable AC4 or AC5, maybe also waterproof/waterresistent, at least 10-12 mm with pad included= your downstairs neighbors will love you)-engineered-LVP (Luxury vinyl plank); allure from HomeDepot (lowes/menards/floor and decor equivalents) has a good reputation here, but others ventured in the realms of commercial and it depends on the relations with local rep to get the "good stuff".

I'm now at the point where I have two applicants that can move in for July and I'm having a tough time choosing between two of them.Application 1 (3 related + 1 friend) - application was submitted first ProsPlenty of income to pay - 5x+2 with great credit (>700)work with a friend who gave a good reference1 attended the same religious institution i did so I'm less inclined to think they would mess up the unit which could be naive 1 year of rental history with no issues paying a fairly higher renthigh job security (family business)Conshigher chance of short term rental - I'm basing this on their young age and the fact they could easily decide to move out on their own2 with bad credit (<600)Young - early twentiesbasement will need to be used as an additional bedroompotential parking issues (4 cars)"kiddish" rooms would need to be repaintedApplication 2 (1 adult + 4 kids)Proshigher chance of long term rental (>3 years) - I say this because the last two locations this person stayed for 3 and 4 years only to leave when the houses were soldfit to the house - in that the rooms are decorated "kiddish" now and don't need to be modified at all ie. repainted, etc)paid same rent for over 7 years w/no issuesCons43% of income to rentBad credit (<600)  - I'm told this is the result of issues with the absentee parentI should also say i have a relative who is a lawyer involved in real estate so he's prepared my lease and helped me out with what can be done legally etc.

To me, I would rather the tenant provide the rod since they are removable, breakable, people have different decorative opinions with them, etc.

I expected to see popcorn or some weird funky decorated wood lol.  

Would the applicant want me to start knocking down walls to suit their decorating preferences too?
