Why don't I guarantee your acceptance into the Apartments?

I start with the Information you give me, then:

  • I look up the criminal but only where you tell me to search. If you tell me you were convicted in Texas, then I don't look in Indiana or Florida (or any other state)
  • I depend on the amount of income you indicated, if it's low, I ask you if it was the GROSS (or pre-tax income) and not the NET (or paycheck income) but that's all
  • Unless you tell me, I don't know if you had any Rental History problems like a broken lease or an eviction. I do tell you to run your credit report and will provide you how to run it, but it's up to you.
  • I don't research a roommate or girlfriend or boyfriend or spouse unless you tell me
  • I don't control the timeframe. What I mean is if I check out the place in February and you take that information and don't apply until June - the information I gave you in February will probably not be valid in June
I control only one part of the pie. You control most of it. I count on you to follow the steps I give you, including getting back to me on a timely basis.

That's why I can't guarantee acceptance.
