I learned to take the opportunity of the proposed tenant previewing my rental property as also my opportunity to preview/screen them as a tenant before the application stage.

We required her to pay us via electronic transfer and have practiced the timing of it with her from her application fee and initial deposit.

Hi Eric,The best way to screen tenants is to do your due diligence and double check everything on their application.

Don't write anything on your application that isn't true.

The applicant set up another date to fill out an application.

I've brought it up and its only applicable to SFH, not multi.

Good morning,I received an application for renters with ferrets and I am unfamiliar with the kind of impact ferrets have on homes.

Screening applicants is not hard.
