This is the forum where people will appreciate today’s lively bunch.
Have you ever been evicted or served a Notice to Quit?
“No. I seen the sheriff coming so I ran down the street”
Do you have good rental references?
“Maybe. My landlord didn’t have to actually evict me because I caught up on the back rent”.
Do you have any pets? ( no pet policy)
“ Not yet. But your place looks real big in the pictures so I’m going to get some there”.
What is the DOLLAR AMOUNT of your monthly income?
“My pay stub from my job”.
When are you looking to move?
“ As soon as somebody accepts my application”
Thank goodness for pre screening. I don’t think I could keep a straight face if I spoke to them.

I have a "very special parking spot" that I've reserved for my tenants who sign a No Pets Lease, move-in, then get a dog. This is a open parking spot under the overhead wires, cable, phone and power. You see my new neighbors set up a bird sanctuary in their backyard and birds wait on my overhead wires for their morning feeding, dropping poop on my dog yielding tenant new car.
When the last tenant said what's up with the birds crap, I have to wash my car every day? I responded, "You agreed this was a no-pet tenancy, then you crap on me, you dog craps in the apartment -- so I'd thought I'd return the favor and crap on your car"!
This they understand. So what do you thing they will do? Buy a car cover, keep their dog and grin at me all day long! --47.155.xx.xxx |

Rents,
Congrats! On pre-prescreening.
Think of the time you saved!
In the past we had to leave home and hang around a showing to get fun stuff like this.

ROTFL
But you get even more in person!
Had a young child motion for me to lean down for a whisper "mom says our kitty has to stay with aunt Laura for a month, but then we can have her here!" --69.80.xx.xx |

Hoo, Boy! Been there, seen that, moved on. Good pre-screening indeed.
So sad, really that there are so many
gevans, that is the best!
If you want the truth, ask a kid. --70.160.xxx.xxx |

Gevens, you often do get more in person, but if you can screen them out before ever having to meet them, that's much faster! --50.82.xxx.xxx |

I ask myself - why do they follow up with .....
SO why are you not going to accept me?
IS this a test?
Should I let them know that your IQ has to be at least 5 times greater than your shoe size? --24.101.xxx.xx |

Ray ... I often think "I wonder if there is a way that I can give them an IQ test :)"...
Kids will ALWAYS tell the truth ... I love it
The problem is that if you state "IQ has to be at least 5 times greater than your shoe size" I don't think they would still get it. I have "3X rent" as a minimum and I still get people that are trying to figure out what that means! I had one the other day that was interested in an apartment that was $750 per month. His monthly income is $800 ... "more than enough to cover the rent, so what's the issue?" --67.242.xx.xx |

My pre-screen includes the question "does at least one adult have 720 credit score?" One guy said yes, scheduled showing.
He showed up with his wife and three kids. After the showing, he asked me if the credit score was a hard requirement. He claimed the pandemic caused his credit score to drop. To what, I asked. 500s he said. This was in early July ....
The crazy people fill in pre-screen answers like RentsDue described. The real evil ones lie and waste your time at a showing. --50.4.xxx.x |

Kids don't always tell the truth. They can be great little liars. About age 3 is when they learn the lie "it wasn't me".
However, they don't know what they are supposed to lie about in order to get a new place to live, so if you chat with them, you can learn all sorts of stuff their parents don't want you to hear.
Most children are starved for adult attention so if you focus on them and look interested, they will chat like crazy. Most are not accustomed to having adults want to hear what they have to say. --76.178.xx.xx |

Robert, maybe you need to hang bird feeders above the car filled with some sort of bird laxative. --108.69.xxx.xxx |
