Problem is noone backs up landlords its almost as if the law is on the renters side i heard stories of landlords giving people money so theyd leave as in money to move while evicting them. So these folks play the game going apartment to apartment getting 5 grand to leave in a cycle.
Ohhh yeah, there are folks that use/game the system.
My worst were welfare, govt cheque, laws say ya gotta take em.
That's why finding out who wants to move in is sooooo important.
He's worked for ATT for 12 yrs, she been at Macy's for 5 yrs.
Call employer to find if true.
Ask employer if applicants future is "bright" .
Go look where they are presently staying.
I used to leave a section of the application vague, then if they were one of "finalists", we'd drive-by where they are now, looking for old stoves, wrecks, garbage, general upkeep.
If that's good, I'd phone, say I'm close by, and need them to "sign" vagueness on form.
That gets you in the front door, to "peek, and smell" inside where they live.
Some cultures use a lotta spices that can be "offensive" to other tenants at the location.
All lotsa work, - - but the last 3 decades we were landlords were quite pleasant, after learning to be picky about who moves in .
Saw lots let the tenant "win" , not me .
Good Luck.
PS. I had lotsa tenants move for work elsewhere, I often invite them to be in touch if they come back, that they'd be welcome, and also always given good references to those that deserved them.
