Message:

When you have multiple applicants and you end up choosing someone else - do you NOT APPROVE the others (or any) or do you just "not select" them?

I'm just wondering how and if you advise the ones that are not getting the apartment/property. --69.201.xx.xxx

Check your local laws, but the only thing generally required for all is that if you decline someone based on their credit you must notify them in writing and provide the information for them to inquire directly from the credit bureau/s --24.20.xxx.xxx

Correct … BUT do you have to DECLINE THEM? What if you are just choosing someone else? You aren't really declining the others, are you? --69.201.xx.xxx

You generally have no obligation to notify them if you do not wish to in that instance. --24.20.xxx.xxx

I try not to reject anyone but approve the first qualified applicant who has provided all the required documents and information. I don't "chase" after missing documents or incomplete applications. --75.22.xx.xx

I believe best practices would dictate that you will "let them know IF they are approved." --24.20.xxx.xxx

Message:

My application states that if they want to know why they were not selected, they must submit a written request and a self-addressed, stamped envelope attached to the application. Otherwise, no notification or discussion if they call. Of course this doesn't apply to rejections based on a credit report. --108.219.xx.xxx

Message:

I don't specify. I just email anyone who has given me an application fee, "I'm sorry, we are unable to offer you the property at this time." Rarely do they call back, because they already know why.

Once I did have someone call to know why, and when I told them the reason they were declined they provided further information that allowed me to approve them. They've been excellent tenants. --204.210.xxx.xxx
