[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Ask for an application fee from everyone. [/quote] I would advise against this. You could discourage a good tenant. As a renter, I always look askance at small landlords who demand an application fee. It is standard for big apartment buildings, but it seems a little . . . well, scammy from a small time landlord. I mean, what if they have 50 applications? At $20 each, they're making $1000 off the prospective tenants, and they aren't going to actually read all those applications. I could see asking a tenant you were seriously considering to pay $20 for a credit check (or provide a copy of their credit report), but to ask a fee just to submit an application seems lame. I'm a landlord and a tenant (rent a place in DC, own a house I rent elsewhere) and I have never asked for an application fee nor paid one. [/quote]
