Can I ask rental applicants old landlord if he paid rent ontime? legal?

[birmingplumb]

UPDATE- The owner returned from golf and spoke with wife and called me. It appears the tenant told him he was saving his rent for August , past due to the present landlord, for me so he can move August 1, the end of lease. I told the landlord I was given a Aug 15 start date on offer and it looks like guy is using his whole 1-1/2 month sec deposit, and where will he go from Aug 1-15 if he is being truthful if I were to say yes? Gave the guy my attorney. God bless all here. Motown

That was a very wise decision, birmingplumb. Sounds like this “prospective tenant” has a sense of entitlement with a capital “E.”

I wish you the very best of luck in getting a good tenant in the coming weeks!
