Some parents will do absolutely anything to remain in a particular school attendance area after getting foreclosed upon or forced into short-selling their family’s home.
How many of those people would be interested in renting 1/1 condos or apartments? And if they’re living in that level of squalor with children, wouldn’t they be risking an irate neighbor reporting then to Child Welfare Services?
Parent rental applicants with school-age children who have never left the area but have no legitimate rental references (or give friends/relatives names as “fake” references), may have dubious income sources which are unverifiable and have one or more former SS/FC’s on their record which happened YEARS AGO … BIG RED FLAG, folks. SFR owners beware, they’re out there
Why would anyone rent to someone like that? We’re talking about multiple red flags waving atcha.
