I made more progress today on my one bedroom apartment. I got the entire thing painted on the interior and it looks a LOT better. I also installed one miniblind; cleaned the bathroom (which was filthy); and made a punch list of items to finish tomorrow.
It was VERY hot here today and I brought my 3 foot "barn fan" along for some relief.
While I was working on the apartment, I received a call from someone who was in front of one of our few remaining rentals. She wanted me to show here the interior. Since I was busy, I asked her if she met our screening criteria. When I asked her if she had been evicted, she paused. I knew at that point that she had been evicted. After a short pause, she said that she had never been evicted. I told her that we would do a credit check and a criminal background check and asked her again if she had been evicted. She paused again and then mumbled something. I again asked her if she had been evicted. She finally said that she had been evicted from another apartment complex because her son had gotten into a fight. That was enough for me. She had been evicted and she had lied to me about it. I don't need a tenant like that!!!
