Own Apartments

Yep, was 90 degrees here in the Heartland yesterday and is going
to get in that range today. One thing that means..(no, not how
many AC units I will be replacing by the end of the month) more
movement among tenants and more turnover for your apartments...

One quick tip and I am NOT trying to insult your intelligence...

Don’t Place A Bad Tenant In One Of Your Units During This "Busy Time"

Why am I hitting you with a common sense item?

Because its is much easier said than done.

My experience....

One weekend when I managed out own apartments I was about three
hours away from leaving on vacation. Everything packed and ready
to go. Of course, if you are like me you are trying to jam as much
as possible in before you go. Well I had a showing set up for about
an hour before I had to leave.

I showed up and the prospective tenant did too and wanted the
apartment. Great! Except I was leaving! So, I had her fill out
her application and told her if she put a deposit down she could
move in and I would catch up with here when I got back.

I did NOT run the application before I left!!
