Re: How to find Qualified tenant applicants? by Stephen (Washington (WA)) on May 4, 2018 @13:56

I have two sites with properties. For both we use Craigslist, a yard sign, and info holder with fliers.
In addition, one site is on a busy street on a bus route. We purchased a large banner "FOR RENT" with our phone number. Got it big enough that it could be read from buses on the other side of the street. We get a lot of response from the banner.
The other site doesn't get the banner because it just doesn't work there. Would love to figure out something better for this site but so far nothing has worked. I might try Zillow next time.

Thanks for the ideas - I might try Zillow - I'm meeting with the applicant, this time bringing her Dad along. (Not sure why for a rental). She wouldn't move in until July 1 due to her lease - & I'm requiring a non-refundable 1 month rent (if she backs out - otherwise goes to her rent. A banner wouldn't work in our location, but, the yard sign does get attention. Might try an Open House.
