I'm happy to schedule individual appointments if a prospective tenant applies and passes our screening process before hand.

And you don't process their application fees, until/if you actually deny the one before them, and start to process theirs.This is to avoid any possible fair housing issues.And I learned to make appointments and if they were more than 15 minutes late without calling me with an acceptable excuse - denied. 

For now the daughter says that Mom can meet us on Friday so I am getting some appointments with the handyman etc .

Hi All,As I continue to try and sharpen my RE game, I am going to solicit feedback on how people handle prospective tenants and the application process.Here's what I do, and I'm wondering if there is a better way:Prospective tenant likes the rental unit at the showing, fills out an application on site, submits their most recent pay stub and photo ID for scanning via smartphone (discussed via email as part of scheduling the appointment), signs a "deposit to hold" agreement (which gives me a 5 day right of rescission), and gives me one month's rent in cash as the deposit (which becomes first month's rent at lease signing).  

You have the right to show the house/apartment with a 24 hour written, proper notice of showing appointment, should be in writing, put on entry door to house. with date & time between hours of 9 am to 5 pm, which can included weekend appointments. 

This has nothing to do with financials but I have found that those who are late for appointments (and do not have a REASONABLE excuse for such) are going to be late on their rent.  

That's why if I had good reason to suspect trouble brewing, it would be one approach worth trying.When we do periodic inspections (at least twice a year) and enter the residence, not only do we give our tenants legal notice to enter, but we ask them for a date and time that is convenient for them and set an appointment.

It sounds like our team needs to revisit that initial email response to assist inquirers with making their first appointment.  

Its one thing for an assistance team to be separated for an appointment or something but for a rehab stay?

(I have a groomer who takes care of Sasha's nails plus my sister (dog trainer) for in-between grooming appointments.)
