[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you have to tell them? Is that the only application and they are waiting for an answer?[/quote]

[b]They are the only applicant right now[/b].  Not sure if ghosting them will work because I use a somewhat expensive screening service that charges each applicant $55.  And since there are no other applicants right now, they will see that the property still remains on the market.

As an aside, this is a kind of expensive property ($3,500/month for a two-bedroom apartment), so I’m just surprised that people at this level wouldn’t pay their taxes.[/quote]

They don't know that. You're overthinking this. Just don't paper trail yourself on your reasoning.

As long as you don't say anything [u]at all[/u], there is not much they can do.  For instance, if your apartment stays advertised for a while: For all they know you selected a tenant, but then that fell through, then you selected another, and that fell through.  All from this long list of good applicants that you had. You are imagining they have parity of knowledge with you, but they don't know anything unless you tell them.[/quote]
