I'm having a lot of applicants and using Cozy for my screening process.

Just because they're section 8 tenants doesn't mean you shouldn't be screening them to find the good ones.

Proper screening should be your main defense against dead beat tenants.

etc.I think when people are saying that the real estate market is not affected by the virus they are meaning that downward pressure on prices and rents tend to lag behind the general market economy and so number changes would take some time to show up but you rightly point out that the buying and selling behaviour has been impacted by the social restrictions and this is very new so I agree that there is an impact albeit temporary.To respond directly to your concerns about extending - I wrote an offer yesterday and we included a hot off the press COVID-19 Addendum to the contract to mitigate the buyer's exposure if delays resulting from the disruptions caused deadlines to be missed - the traditional Purchase Contract in FL at least has a Force Majeure contingency in it but COVID-19 is not considered a Force Majeure event so you may need to consult with your agent/Attorney about how to get an extension.

I'm screening every buyer and speaking with the showing agents. 

Basically a place to store and track tenant forms and data, organize accounting, do tenant screenings, create invoices, and meter electric and water.

It is critical for tenants to be aware of that as well.I also think it is important as part of the tenant screening process to ensure the tenant has some cash cushion and not just living from pay cheque to pay cheque.

Or should I just flat-out deny them now.

I was going to screen the person and have them get a rental policy.

Look for Organisational skillsProperty management is a juggling act that requires proper organization, scheduling, and priority setting.If your PM isn’t organized and detail-oriented, then you could end up with unsatisfied tenants, property damage, and costly fines.Evaluate their organizational skills by learning about their procedures for key aspects of property management like rent collection, tenant screening, maintenance scheduling, and addressing tenant issues.
