My current tenants got a job offer out of state so now I'm looking for new tenants. I put out a listing asking for 1400$ in rent but the house seems to have a lot of interest to the point where one of the applicants suggested she's willing to pay 1550$ in rent if that guarantees the lease. I'm never going to sign a lease without running my screening but I'm wondering if I should ask people for more rent both to make it easier to manage prospects and to increase profit. Any gotchas there?
@Shady Ibraheem As long as you make it clear that you are increasing the rent of your apartment for EVERYONE and not just a few prospects then you should not have any issues. Stay within Fair Housing and you should not have any issues...you have not signed a lease with anyone so you are free to set rent at whatever you want.

Steve is spot on with this, @Shady Ibraheem. As long as you make it clear to all interested listing inquiries, you should be fine to set the rent price to what you feel comfortable with. Let me know if you're looking for a few more options in terms of places where you plan to list the property. Can definitely help out with that! 馃彉
