Most jurisdictions the vacancy rate is dropping so when a problem tenant gets evicted they are starting to realize it is difficult to start another eviction all over again. While the left wing tenancy advocate chairs say housing is right then move out of houses you own then let people live rent free along with the thousands of dollars damage done then don't evict them. Some cell phones it is possible to block unwanted phone numbers. See if that can be done. Found it best to block unknown, private numbers. --147.194.xxx.xx

Better yet, screen them out without them knowing which house you called them back about. --50.4.xxx.x

Now, if you actually don't have another applicant and you just don't want them, then I have stated that the background check did not come back as favorable (only if they ask). OR I advise them that their background checks are still being run and we haven't received any recommendations as of yet. Once we do I'll let you know. --209.217.xxx.xx

I think if you're unable to state a succinct basis for denying their application , and then playing word games about choosing another applicant, you're just opening yourself up for fair housing complaints --199.247.xx.xx

I have place "cooperative attitude" at the top of my list, after recommendations from Jeffrey(VA) and others here. I don't run into too many, but I do get the occasional person who is demanding and argumentative. Next. --71.175.xxx.xx

Yes someone had put in a deposit ,since she was stalling on providing all the documents. Kindly told her I can no longer wait on her daughter ‘s application. We will have to go on with the applicant that have all their stuff in and deposit. She was not the ideal applicant anyways. It was good to see the true side of her, so I was glad I went with someone else. Once in awhile I run into these kind of people. Cooperative attitude is great to look for! Thank you for all the feedback. --76.186.xx.xxx

You must have a list of criteria for applicants. I do not suggest “being rude” is on that list. that is a subjective opinion. you need to treat the process in a businesslike manner. --104.218.xxx.xx

PMH we look at background, rental history/ income to determine approval and deposit. No we don't have anything regarding to rudeness. They are usually not rude until they get declined or we have selected someone else. If they are not cooperative in submitting application for other family member I will not approve them, that is just part of being cooperative. --47.32.xxx.xxx

Then when I go to reject them, if it's based on credit, I will issue a letter so they can obtain a free credit report. If they become rude, I apologize and explain I have to answer to my partners and this wasn't my call. (I have no partners but I let them think it wasn't my doing). This gets them off my back. --47.156.xx.xx
