This is going to be a D neighborhood, in my opinion.From our experience, you can rent a house in these neighborhoods fairly quickly (average 3/4 weeks) as long as you don't have a product or price issue.Product - your house needs to be in good conditionPrice - you should be asking for market rentIf either one of these is off, you will either have little to no showings (price issue), or you will have people look but not fill out applications (product issue).Best of luck to you!

I just found Tenant Cloud and like that you can customize the online rental application, have your own little made up website that you can point applicants to for listings, create your listings from their site which propagate out to the major sites (Zillow,Realtor, etc) (although I found that the listing description has character limitations), and track income/expenses for free.

I am a new landlord with my first application.

This isn't talked about very often and is a great strategy when it is applicable.  

Screening company, RHR, came back with the applicant's report and there is no rental history.  

When a landlord begins to look for a tenant with less than a month to occupancy the quality of applicants drops drastically.

(b) Conditional use conversion — authorized. (1) (i) In all districts except the R-2, R-4, R-5, and R-6, the Board may authorize, as a conditional use, the conversion of a building for use by more than 1 family, as long as the number of dwelling and efficiency units to be allowed conforms with the applicable principal-permitted-use bulk regulations for the district in which the building is located.

I would also ask for the rental applications.  

Or I could cancel my application for the permit and leave everything as is without enforcement from the town. i.e. keep operating the 4 units but they will not provide a CO which clearly limits the up side down the road when I decide to sell the property.

But so far, my best applicants have come from Zillow listings.
