The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau alleges that ITT also misled its students—a charge the company strongly denies.

With one of them, who applied, it ended up with him asking me to prove I owned the property and going over the lease with a fine-toothed comb (after he missed a couple of deadlines to get things back to me, I moved on and denied him).I figured the facts that 1) prospective tenants see the property and can talk with the current tenants to ask about the property and me, and 2) that they have to submit an application and go through a credit and background check, and 3) that I was using Cozy to collect payments and 4) that I am available by phone, email and text whenever they want, would be enough to make people comfortable that they are not getting scammed, but it was apparently not enough for some people.Does anyone have any tips to help prospective tenants feel more comfortable dealing with you from afar and not feeling like they are getting scammed?

Does the tenant have a right to deny request to enter the property if sufficient notice is given?  

Even if the claim is valid they will generally deny the first time paying out and make you work for it as they know statistically some of their customers filing a claim will quit the process if they make it hard on them to be successful.The insurance industry  is for profit and they will try almost anything within the law to make a buck.

He was trying to get a loan for around $500k and was denied! 

So 2-3 months go by and were all set to close in 2 weeks or so and it turns out he gets denied by the board.

Even if it's 30 days banks take WAY longer and have more restrictions....the loan could get denied vs. a cash deal won't!

Unfortunately, I just evicted a tenant this summer who bounced checks and I learned being able to transfer money into my account (with no option to deny payment) wouldn't be a good idea as it would delay eviction.

No denying the leverage of M2M.

@William Murrell I am actually waiting on two banks to approval or deny my loan on this property.
