Mistake talking to previous landlord

Hi BP!

I just wanted to share a mistake I just made.  I was checking references, as everyone should!  I spoke to the prospective tenant's current landlord.  I asked how much he was charging and he asked me the same.  I thought we were just being friendly.   His apt was $200 cheaper than mine.  He then proceeded to call the tenant and offer her 200 off her rent to stay!  My bad.  Live and learn!
