Show rental or fill out application

Is it terribly unusual to weed out unqualified applicants by requesting a paper application before showing them the property? There is no fee.

@Jeff Gates - I would say that its more common to "pre-qualify" the potential tenant over the phone first. A prospective tenant is not likely to fill out an application for a home they have not seen. 

Have a list of questions that you are ready to ask them on the phone. If they lie over the phone they will lie on the application too....

Just my 2 cents.....
