The consequences of declining are very different for both parties. The landlord moves on to literally any other prospect because everyone else will provide that information. The tenant can move on to only slumlords, who will not insist on a credit/criminal background/reference check. Or they can be homeless.
- mlurp 7y agoI think that's really more a function of what slant the market is currently in, ie, renter's or landlord's market. If there were a glut of apartments compared to renters, the desperateness would be reversed.
- pagnol 7y agoWhat would the desperateness of the landlords look like, I wonder?
- goodcanadian 7y agoA willingness to waive references, fees, et cetera for any halfway decent looking tenant. I've benefited from that in the past.
- black_puppydog 7y agoAnd that is the case in exactly which places? I'm not saying that doesn't exist, but I'd be surprised to find that it's a common situation. But hey, find some stats and change my mind :)
