Tenant Pre-Screen. Can I ignore someone presenting red flags?

Sam German
Posted Jun 7 2022, 06:25

First time renting out a home.

Posted on Zillow and got some responses.

One of the guys filled out a form which provided info that he made half the required amount, move-in date way too early, bad credit, etc.

Basically all red flags. He wants to see the property.

Knowing that he will not be accepted, do I have to get on a phone screener?

Show him the property anyway? Send an application?

Conflicted as to what the next steps should be for a person like this.

Once on a phone screener, if they mention they don't meet all minimum req, do I still have them fill out an application?

Can I insist they fill one out before they see the property, knowing that something will come up?

Or can I ignore him altogther?

Lots of questions but that's what you get with a first-timer.
