Rental house still on the horizon??

Rental house still on the horizon??


The Rental House Lady was blowing up my phone yesterday while I was onboarding new employees.

Apparently she'd called and talked to someone from my company, immediately after I met with her on Saturday, and got a good work reference.

I'm not quite certain who she had spoken with....

But whoever it was didn't give her the Work Reference number that we're supposed to be giving out. I gave her the Work Reference number when I saw her and told her that was the process.

Yesterday, however, she was frustrated because she hadn't been able to get through to the apartment manager for the apartments I currently live in.

When she did get through.... They wouldn't just<b> release </font></b>my information until I called and gave my approval.

So I stepped back to my desk to find several messages stating she'd left a message, she was experiencing red tape, she'd finally talked to the manager, they wouldn't<b> release </font></b>any info, can I call her, and can I call and talk to the office manager to give approval to<b> release </font></b>my rental references.

I'm wondering what kind of information this woman is for?

I guess I'll find out when I call the apartment manager today.

Happy Tuesday!

    Quoting hippiechick1967:
    Yay!!! I had a feeling you were gonna get that house!
I was very surprised when she texted me to tell me I was selected. I was certain I hadn't gotten it.

    maybe she wants to see your rent payment history i.e. late or whatever...
I'm sure that's what it was all about.... I passed the test!

    Hopefully she's just looking for confirmation that you have been paying your rent on time and that you're not one of "those" renters who cause problems (like your former downstairs neighbor).
    Of course, she may also be checking to make sure you haven't been parking on the grass there. She has the lawn to think of ya know.... You may want to find out if she carries a ruler or tape measure around with her. To measure the length of the grass. Can't have it getting too long!
She told me today she would make sure she mowed before I moved in.... LOL I'm kind of excited to have a yard again to take care of. It's been a long time since I've had to do any of that. I used to really like to mow my lawn, always made me feel like I was making things pretty again.

    One of the biggest problems for landlords is unpaid rent........so I guess she's just doing her homework.......I wonder if she'll be as quick to contact her tenants if a problem arises.......

    Either way, good luck McLade.
Seeing as how she lives across the street, I think she'll be easy to find. LOL Today she was super nice to me... She had told me how nice the apartment manager was and how nice the corporate office had been to her on the phone. I think that really worked in my favor.

I know! Today she lectured me on how to take care of the leaves when they fall... "We just rake them onto a tarp and drag them into the ditch." LOL

    You should try to talk to her former tenants to see if she's some kind of nut
The former tenants lived there for five years, so she must be somewhat ok. I don't know if it's a good thing, or a bad thing, but she lives right across the street from the rental house. Apparently the house was her husband's grandmother's house and he inherited it.

    payment history, most likely..... looking to see that yes, you are paying your rent... and on time. prob also ask for a maintenance history to see if you are rough on your appliances, electricals, etc... or if it's mostly natural wear and tear. prob also ask if they keep a record about any complaints lodged against you... did anyone ever call the police on you.... like that
I checked out, apparently. She said I had an excellent reference!

Lanlords just want to avoid trouble, want things to go smoothly. Those that have experienced trouble usually wind up loosing money.

You can leave me a message here
