Questions for your new tenents

We often have limited time, here are a few question that you should ask when a tenant calls you to make an appointment. if their answers don't satisfy you, you don't wast your time on a fruitless viewing.

If you do make an appointment to see the unit, ask them to bring ID.

1. What are the best phone numbers to reach you should we get disconnected or I need to reschedule an appointment? (home, cell and and work, if possible)- So that you can call them back if necessary. (Remember, they have yours!)
2. 
   How many people will be living in the unit, even if temporarily?
3. 
   What's your current situation?/ Where are you renting now?
4. 
   Why are you looking to move?
5. 
   When are you looking to move?
6. 
   Do you think your current landlord would give you a good reference?
7. 
   Do you have any pets? (if so, what kind?)
8. 
   Does anyone who wants to rent this property smoke?
9. 
   How many vehicles total would everyone need to park at the property? (not normally a problem in the CBD)
10. 
    In what other areas would you be interested in renting? (in case you have vacant units in other units, too.)
11. 
    How many bedrooms do you need?
12. 
    How long are you looking to rent?
13. 
    How much do you make per week/month/year (whichever seems most appropriate)? How about the other applicants? Is this "gross income" or "take home" income?
