finding quaity renters in Woodhaven, NY

[Amy Zhang]

I am trying to rent an apartment in woodhaven, NY. I am working with 2 RE agents to help find tenants. My requirements are 700 credit score and income 3x rent. I don't find that many quality tenants. The apartment is a railroad style which is a little harder to rent as some people don't like it per agent. Its has been a month and has not rented it yet. I advertised in zillow, trullia, criaglist, hotpad but so far no luck. 

Any suggestions from experience landlord in NYC? should I lower my requirements? My requirement used to be income 2.5xrent and credit score 650 and i had bad tenants last time who didn't pay on time and didn't pay the last month so I had to ask them to move out.
