I am inquiring about your house for rent.  It’s a beautiful 3 bedroom home, perfect for my family and pets.  In a nice neighborhood, not alot of crime.

Your rent is in our range and with the wife’s nice job at the hospital as security, and my disability check each month, we can more than afford what you’re asking.  We do not have evictions, no criminal records or vicious pets.  We are honest people just trying to make our lives better and get out of the cramped one bedroom apartment we have been living in for two years.

Why do we want out of our place? Because of mold, mildew, ants and other gross pests. We are getting eaten up by bugs while we sleep or try to watch t.v.  There has been a rise in crimes, drugs, hookers, and the police are here nearly every single night.  I looked out my window one day saw about 10 police cars and officers with high powered weapons.  Rents been raised twice, not worth the payment of a crappy place to call home.  So, you answer your question on why we want out?

We would be great at taking care of property, we love mowing the yard, planting flowers, enjoying nature and we are pretty handy with tools. 

We have been saving our monies for deposits and are near ready to sign a lease, what’s that you ask?

Credit scores?

They are poor.  We won’t lie. They suck. No credit cards like most people with credit issues.  Ours are mostly student loans.

Credit wasn’t taught in school…and as kids we saw the parents use plastic cards to pay for things.  When i got out of school, i got a job and needed a car, got a loan and learned about interest and car payments…

I made them all on time,  when i ventured out on my own, rent was paid, was behind a little with utilities but who hasn’t.  I lived with people, partners and friends and shared expenses.  My credit was ok until i decided to further my education and now have student loans.

So, being an outstanding person, all honest, and having an income that guarantees rent will be made on time, you would rather rent to someone with better credit who doesn’t pay rent on time or late because he’s out spending his great credit money on stupid stuff…but will deny me and my family because our credit is poor?

Good luck when you eventually have to evict the good credit guy, and spend thousands of your dollars in court and then later think, maybe i should have rented to those two girls and their pets.

Sincerely,

Future Tenant
