3 Easy Ways to Reject a Tenant Applicant


Tenant Rejection!

Many of us have had difficulty in rejecting interested rental applicants for our properties. Without a system to save you from legal entanglements, wasted time and aggravation, hurt feelings and embarrassment, you are going to be one unhappy and unsuccessful camper.

Having a legal and effective approval and denial system for your rental application process is essential if you are going to last in the landlord business.

Because every situation and applicant is different, it is best to have more than one method of rejecting an unwanted applicant. Unwanted applicants can vary in levels of unacceptability.

  • Totally Unacceptable (credit or other reasons)
  • Unqualified, but can become qualified (co-signer or large deposit needed)
  • Qualified, but you have someone else more qualified

      Landlord Tip with Free Form Download
      Move-In Information Sheet

      I find it to be helpful to give new tenants a convenient list of important contacts and phone numbers before move-in. This helpful touch is appreciated by many tenants. It is a form for you to provide new tenants with important telephone numbers to set up their new utility accounts and other information relating to the rental and neighborhood they are about to reside in.

      Ask the Attorney

      The Landlord Protection AgencyThe Landlord Protection Agency® is proud to introduce John Reno, Esq., a highly experienced Landlord - Tenant attorney based on Long Island, NY.

      John Reno also does Mortgage Loan Modifications (Nationwide).
      (Mention The LPA for a 10% discount!)

      Dear Mr. Reno:
      I have a tenant (in Pittsburgh, PA) who I have given way too many chances at this point...he currently owes me $2700 from unpaid rent and late fees. I gave him a 10 day notice to quit, which he then told me he would be out by the 31st of this month. Which is fine but he hasn't paid any rent for May and hasn't agreed to any repayment schedule etc., and is no longer answering phone calls or emails. At this point I want to determine if it is worth it to hire a lawyer to take him to court and hopefully garnish wages to get what I am owed.
      I have never had to do anything like this or even evict a tenant, so I am unsure if this process is worth it to get back what I am owed.
      Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
      Thanks!
      Jen

      A: Hire the lawyer. He's not moving out on his own. You're losing money every day. Stop dawdling.

      If you have a landlord tenant problem you'd like to ask a question about, please feel free to e-mail me your question.
      Submit a landlord / tenant question for Mr. Reno
      Please try to keep your questions as short and to the point as possible.

      Excuse of the Day

      "Go run back to Daddy and tell him I said to come pick up the rent himself."
      I bought the house from my father 2 years ago. As a courtesy, I've put up with a lot of crap from this jerk, but no more. Eviction papers get filed first thing in the morning! - Joe, Fort Myers, FL
