[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Picking tenants is tricky, some things I look for as red flags that often cause me to ghost them Too nice of a car (if you’re renting with a 60k plus car) More kids than adults esp teens Single moms More than one pet Any public assistance History of multiple 1 year only rentals Stay at home spouses [/quote] I hate to see posts like this. I was a single mom (divorced with 2 sons and a dog). I had a REALLY hard time finding a rental after my divorce. I'm sure that it did not help that I was black. I am a lawyer and make WELL into the 6 figures and when I was finally able to find someone to rent to me, I had to show w-2s, divorce settlement, I paid 1st and last months rent and a security deposit. When I moved (I ended up marrying a neighbor and we bought a house in another neighborhood), I painted, had all of the carpets cleaned and had the house professionally cleaned. I didn't the landlord to discriminate against another tenant. I left the house significantly better than it was when I moved in.[/quote]
