I have someone who has contacted me no fewer than 25 times to inquire about any house we have ever listed since 2016. Her info changes a lot: jobs, pets, occupants, addresses. Her "fiancee" has assaults and larceny and trepassing and property damage convictions. I stopped responding to her a long time ago but still get emails via CL regarding my listed properties.

The last time I *did* respond, via an automated rejection for a non-neutered animal, she threatened to slander us on FB. I ignored her and she went away, but she's back again now, emailing last week and at midnight last night and now again early this morning...

She "has the money and needs to move by Friday."

Every.single.time.for.every.single.home.ever.listed.

Just venting. Leave me alone! --50.82.xxx.xx

Even though Craigslist uses an anonymous email relay, you can still set up a filter in your email settings to block her from getting through to your inbox.

One possibility: Create a filter with the following: "Subject line": (RE: TITLE OF CL AD HERE), "contains" (HER FIRST AND LAST NAME). You could dial it in to be as specific as possible, but always test it afterwards by responding to your own ad using both the "blocked" criteria and "non-blocked" to make sure you aren't blocking out unintended respondents.

You may also be able to block the CL email as it sometimes will assign the same email address to a user so long as they're a registered user.

Or just keep her unblocked for the entertainment! --65.118.xx.xxx

The bad applicants are ALWAYS looking to move. They are the minority of applicants, but because of their constant activity, they appear to be much greater in number. --72.172.xxx.xx

Whenever I posted an Ad on CL, I use to get frequent phone calls from some quack in TEXAS saying his Mother lived in my town and he was looking for her a place to live. Same ole story over and over. It got to where I had to ask him, What part of NO do you not understand? --68.63.xxx.xxx

"Everyone is welcome to apply".

Eliminates her complaint to Fair Housing for not responding.

I've given her several apps in the past, Brad. They never get returned, or were returned incomplete (no SSN's, for instance.) --50.82.xxx.xx

I am so glad we logged every call and years later, like sharks they are still circulating, looking for the next victim and a place to land. Google voice. People aren't using their real names on the Zillow email so that is mandatory before we talk to anyone. What is you full legal name? ONe applicant had so many evictions, that she just did not know about, that she wanted to use the woman's name, who she cared for. --108.20.xxx.xxx

There is a local woman that has been evicted several times and she proudly states that she has been working in the home health field for ____years. She calls every time I run an ad in the paper. The last time I asked her name and she said Ann and I finished it for her. I used to explain that I would never rent to her because of it and not to call me again. Then I realized I was being a bit presumptuous, asking her to remember or look up my phone number before she responded to an ad.

Now I just tell her I am taking everyone's info and there are several ahead of her, which is true. --71.219.xx.xx

How frustrating! She may not realize she is contacting the same person... they really don't keep notes on such. --99.203.xx.x
