Ex tenant wants to rent again..

[Charlie Moore]

Would you ever "Re-Rent" Your property to an unfavorable ex tenant?

• Have a tenant from a few months ago ( did not renew her lease, because he was severely hoarding and causing damages )
• He has the courage and confidence to ask if she can rent from us again.... lollll How do we kindly say "no  way bud "

[Nathan Gesner]

Of course not. I had a tenant rent from me in January. She broke the lease after four months. We didn't lose anything because she left it clean and her deposit covered the unpaid rent until we found someone new. But she came back to me last month and asked to rent again because she has a better job and more stable income. I reminded her that she violated the contract and I don't want to rent to someone that doesn't fulfill their obligations. She can rent from someone else, build a good reputation, and then come back to me. She asked me four times, even offered to pay a double deposit and higher rent, but I still turned her down.

If they don't respect the lease the first time, they won't respect it the second time.
