Pet peeve - landlords who don't return calls about past tenants

Its always striking how often small time landlords won't call me back when I call about a past or current tenant.

I always return calls about my tenants as soon as possible because I know how important it is for landlords to get a timely response as they consider an application.

I'd say they are hypocrites, but they are not necessarily since some may be the type of landlords who are too lazy to call landlords references when evaluating an application.

@Dan C. If landlords don't call just fax over the reference form with your info at the type so the landlord knows you are real and can check you out before supplying the info.

 Send over a fax ?  Should I leave my pager number as well ? Anybody can create a letterhead in 2 minutes.  It doesn't make you real.
