Quotations by Julie Broad

We generally don't call current landlords for reference checks - we call the one before the current one. A current landlord might be anxious to get rid of a not-so-great tenant and therefore might not tell you the entire truth. If the tenants did not live together previously, call references for both tenants. When you have selected a candidate, call them immediately and ask them to sign the lease and provide their security deposit. Don't allow them more than 48 hours to get this to you, and don't call the other interested candidates to tell them it's rented until this is done. [2013] - Julie Broad
