Would you respond to this?
Nov 17, 2022It started innocent enough.
You made a "For Rent" ad.
Snapped a few pics of the empty house.
Jotted down some pretty words.
Then hit publish...
And a tsunami of dumb questions came in.
"Does no smoking mean vapes?"
"I know you say no pets. But what about my friend's Chihuaua. It'll only be a few weeks - promise!"
* rolls eyes *
Guess they didn't get the memo.
There's a system to this madness.
It's called a rental application.
Fill it out.
Send the bad boy over.
Then we'll chat.
Answering questions from someone who hasn't applied yet can get you in trouble.
A Landlord recently got nailed for this...
So ya - make them to apply.
Do your due diligence.
Then answer questions.
