Tenant Interview

For every four people that I interview, there will be only one that will meet all of my criteria..  It is always good to review the application in person with said tenant in front of you.  You can ask additional questions to get more information. You might be surprised at what you might find out.  Stuff like this will usually come out of your interview.

1. Can I use my deposit for the last months rent?
2. No, I don't have a dog.  I sometimes keep my brother's dog for a few days.
3. Can I borrow $20.00?
4. Do you do credit checks?
5. Will you work with me on the deposit?
6. Can I have a dish mounted on top of the house?
7. When can I move in?  Oh by the way, do you have any odd jobs I can do?
8. No, I am not working.  No my husband is not working either.  But my mother can cosign.  No she lost her job last month.
9. Is the basement finished?
10. I don't have any appliances.

And on and on.......
