Is my pre-screening scaring away potential good renters?

Amy A.Rather than a list of questions (which may sound like an interrogation), why not simply include your screening process or the same material, but as a series of "criteria":1) Applicants should have income equalling or exceeding X-times the monthly rent;2) We perform a credit history and criminal background check on all applicants;3) All our properties are smoke free, ....We return an e-mail with a more in-dept description of the unit and a copy of our application {which includes our screening process}.

So my sound proofing is focused in the second floor/ceiling of the first floor.For soundproofing, I do the following;1) I am mindful to seal up all of the second floor subfloor penetration.2) I installed 3" thick mineral wool (Roxul or Rockwool) insulation between the floor joist directly above the sheet rock.3) I use resilient channel to hang the ceiling drywall, which is 5/8" thick (per code for fire barrier, but is a bonus for sound).The above does a good job at reducing sounds like TV's, radio's, talking, etc.

One of my biggest pet peeves is feeling like I've been ripped off for something - no joke, I actually called my TV provider one-time over $.01 because they said the tech coming out was no charge and then they billed my account for it and credited back all but a penny.
