I just had a freakish weekend showing a house--the first applicant was a very attractive woman who worked for a cosmetic Surgery clinic -- she had obviously taken advantage of the employee discount--she had a very nice look and way about her- & her children were nice too--she was evasive about her credit -she said it wasn't "too good"----upon getting the screening back,the records showed she had undisclosed bankruptcy, recent eviction--she said that was her sister's eviction-- it was" just in her name", the LL name she gave me was not the property owner listed on the county records--"she said that was because of a divorce and he was hiding from his wife", the child support financial records to support her income I asked her to provide "couldn't be faxed because something was wrong with the fax machine at the clinic", and she had 30 recent collections as well as 4 new court judgements-- these were" just loans and things, so how does that affect me renting your house?"
