MIL apartment prospects are the biggest joke

[Jack B.]

I own A - C class properties and have never had these kinds of imbeciles even in my C class property. I get one low life after another with evictions, criminal histories, low income but thinks they can afford it (75% of income on rent), they are going to pay the landlord who evicted them from their first apartment three years ago back even though I have had all this time to do it and still haven't, he evicted them after their first month it wasn't their fault, I'm innocent, blah bla blah. 

Just now I had to ask a lady who is a waitress three times what her income is. She never said, she just keeps saying she works at a restaurant but can afford it, though she had to move out of her last apartment, blah blah blah.

I'm seriously at a point where I'm just going to start being rude to people. If they are this dumb and uncooperative, Maybe I should even note income and credit requirements in the advertisement. I typically don't because I don't want anyone to have any fodder as to the requirements that they can later claim some form of discrimination against.

Ugh. Sometimes I want to tell these clowns that my butt makes 200K a year and they make 12K a year. I own over a million in real estate and they are living check to check renting. *I* am in charge here, not you. You don't get to tell me you qualify or that you make enough. Argghh!!

I always list basic requirements - why not? I don't want to waste my time or theirs. 3X rent, clean criminal, eviction and credit report. I don't rent to anyone who fails these standards - felons, evictees, not enough income, and a credit score under 600 is probably a deal-breaker as well. I have nothing against these people, it's just not a demographic I'm going to serve. None of them are protected classes last time I checked. If I had more time to deal with people, I might feel differently, but I work a full-time "day" job and two part-time jobs besides running all my rentals, and I don't have time for ******** :)
