Applicant Rights in Ohio

Posted

Hi. I am a prospective tenant in Cleveland, Ohio. My SO and I completed application on Tuesday and payed fee immediately for rental property. LL followed up next day stating she received applications and fee. It has been a week and we have not yet heard back from the LL. We have e-mailed and called and have been very cordial in our correspondence. We asked a friend to express interest in the unit to see if she could get a response. She received a response within 12 hrs. How quickly does a credit inquiry appear on your credit report so I can confirm she actually did run a credit check? If she did not, I have right to pursue legal action. If she did, how do I elicit a response of rejection or do I just chalk it up as a loss? Thanks for your expertise!

-Raymond

You didn't get an acceptance or rejection. That means that the landlord doesn't really want you as a tenant, but they'll take you if no one better comes along shortly.
