After checking credit scores, I would also call the references on the applications. If both of these don't divide out the better renters, then go on rental history. Why are they leaving their current place, how long do they plan to stay in your location and why do they want to rent this home are all questions to ask.
After all of that, the one you don't choose simply tell "We've selected another applicant at this time. Good luck with your rental search."
Keep the answer Simple.

You must draw up rental qualifications on written document to provide to ALL prospects. This will be you way of keeping undesirable tenants out of the property. Tell them in advance : you need so many times the rent on your monthly income, no felonies, no sexoffenders, no evictions, no pets. must have rental history, must have some credit, no bad history of paying rent/ mortgage. Use w-2's, paystubs, tax returns, bank statements as prospects qualifications to rent.
Ask for $25.00 to $50.00 app fee per person(money orders only) for the landlord to cover his costs of doing these background checks. And ask for deposit equal to at least 1 1/2 times the amount of the rent.

An apology in the rejection notice and mentioning the reason why that tenant did not qualify in a very polite manner as not to burn bridges. Remember when the first tenant goes out you would still need prospective tenants to come back and rent with you else you land up with a vacant property.

This somewhat relies upon on how the flexibility purchaser is finding at it. the 1st answer of course is not any, they don't could desire to be rented out. the customer could examine out it in a pair of strategies. they could say, i ask your self why they are actually not rented, not a good sign. it may desire to be confusing to lease in this community. it is confusing to recoup our investment. they could additionally look upon it as an astonishing risk to renovate the area and as you comprehend, it somewhat is greater uncomplicated to try this without tenants occupying the area. so which you notice, it somewhat relies upon on why they are actually not rented.

go with the person that you feel is most trustworthy of your home; and tell the other it's just business or you can make up a lie
