Testing Perspective Tenants / Covid

[Linda A Hawkins]

I have some questions regarding tightening up my criteria for selecting prospective tenants, and weeding out potential bad eggs.

Does anybody have any thoughts on hiring a professional to administer a polygraph test and/ or a lie detector test to potential tenants? I am not beyond doing this. Maybe even a Criminologist or a Psychological profiler?

If anyone on this form is local to  Metro Atlanta Georgia, and is a professional that can administer these tests, I would welcome hearing from you.

If that's a serious suggestion, then I would seriously suggest you get out of the rental business and invest in the stock market. A polygraph takes 1-3 hours to administer, not including scheduling and travel requirements, and costs hundreds of dollars.

And your subject line mentions COVID, but I don't see any question or comment relating to that.

If I were a renter, I would turn and run.
