Oh gut feel, why are you always right??!!

[Allen Clark]

I rent short term furnished rentals for a premium very close to downtown Seattle. Usually 3-6 months. I had a prospective tenant meet my criteria and she wanted the place for 5 weeks. I typically don't rent for that short of a term but I suggested a higher price and she agreed. However in all my dealings with her things felt off. My gut was screaming that she will not be good tenant. 

We got through the five weeks with a few bumps and I was mostly right. I am very happy to be rid of her. 

When applying objective criteria how do you listen to your gut as well?
