A single cylinder has one cylinder for a key and a thumblatch on the opposite side.A double cylinder needs a key for each side, hence the danger for someone living inside if they have to get out fast and cannot find the key.

@Melinda Aka Tamar has obviously not had enough time in the game to know how dangerous that management style can be in this business.

Careful, nucleaur cockroaches are dangerous!

One apartment had quite a bit, the other very little.We split the difference and charged $20, cash only, for the application fee. 3 applicants, only one cleared a public records search (what makes 'em think we're not going to find a recent conviction for 'controlled dangerous substance, heroin'?

And great that you have multiple applicants to choose from.While it's nice of you to be concerned about them spending money with the possibility of not being selected, that just comes with the territory when looking for rentals, and is something that most prospective tenants do/should understand.

However, I would not refer to the neighborhood as dangerous.

Another tenant in a duplex that I kicked out (inherited tenant) because they infested the whole place with fleas ...like serious horrible fleas that had to be sprayed 4 times to treat after they moved out.....from their dirty smelly dogs ...that smelled like dirty dog the first second you walked through the foyer and they had a horrible dangerous dog that was vicious & large and go after repairmen or anyone it saw.

Personally, I'd never write anything like this in a public forum (I'd never think it in the first place) as I think it dangerously borders on racism but to each their own.

While I don't know about Brownsville because I have not been there, I do know McAllen and I can say that for me it seems a peaceful place, where you can wander around without any danger if you are willing to get burnt by the extreme sun and heat.

This has very dangerous repercussions to the rental property business.
