Pre-Screening tenants
New to the landlord thing. Ugh.
This may be an obious question but just checking my gut.
My sister is managing my property in Texas until I move there. She just informed me the first applicant filled out the application and paid half of the application fee and said her husband would be there after work to pay the other half and fill out the remainder of the app.
She then told my sister:
1.They had an eviction because the husband lost his job due to company closing but has a good one now.
2.They are moving because the apartment they live in now is being torn down.
3.Prior residence was in-laws.
4.Their credit score "is not stellar"
OK, I know the answer. Like I said I'm new.
What is the best way to handle this situation. Should I just tell them "more than likely you will be declined due to an eviction"?
Thanks for any advice.
