My empties are turning around fast.
This weekend I had a couple apply for a 1BR unit. She is stellar. She has had the same job for 7 years and makes 6X s the rent. She filed bankriptcy after a divorce 5 years ago. Nonsmoker. She said her credit rating was over 675 but I did not run it. She is 46 and lives with grandmother.
Boyfriend has had same job for 5 years and makes 4 times the rent. He has rented the same place for 12 years and is leaving his old girlfriend as of 4/2019. He has 2 Jack Russel terriers. Just before I talked with the woman, a female had called and had 6 Jack Russel terriers, but this couple says it is not them.
He is 48 and he and woman were high school sweethearts. They have been having an affair for several months and this month he moved out on his girlfriend of 15 years. Woman states they should have got together years before and their lives would have been different. She is so happy.
She filled out the application completely and apparently was accurate.. The man did not. He did not provide his landlady's phone or his employers phone. He stated he had never, been evicted, but he was 12 years ago. He stated he was a non-smoker, but his woman says he is trying to quit. I got landlady's number from woman and she sent text stating the landlady was likely to give a bad reference because he always gave money to his girlfriend and she never paid the rent or bills. The old girlfriend is just totally bad. She also said, but I will be responsible for both of us. OK
Landlady said man and old girlfriend had rented from her for 12 years and never paid on time. They had multiple utility turn offs for non payment and place was dirty due to their 6 Jack Russel terriers. She had just sent them notice to end their Lease.
I knew it! The 6 Jack Russels were his dogs. Landlady states they are splitting the dogs in the breakup.
Finally he gave a personal reference and the references' mother is my best friend. She says he has a long term alcohol problem.
OK. After Landlady call, I knew I should not rent to them as she will likely move and leave him with me and more of the Jack Russels are likely to move in. But, I really wanted her money so I got ready to run credit checks and he did not give me his Social Security number.. Ooops, he really does NOT ant me to check him out.
Application incomplete and not truthful, so I stopped right there and sent her a text thanking her for applying, but I was renting to another applicant.
She sent a thanks back and said, " If you get another unit open, will you rent to us?"
I have no answer for her. She has to find out by her self she is hitching up to a loser.
