长周末没出去玩，闲着也是闲着，在网上看到地主分享房客申请的有趣互动，与大家分享。

#1
Young single mother with 3yr old in tow. “My boyfriend will be paying the rent, he said to just go find a place, but I want to rent it in my name, so it will be mine alone.”
I’m thinking: I’m not renting to someone without the verified income to pay the rent. Sorry but a promise from a boyfriend just won’t do.
I’m saying: Here’s a rental application. The application fee is $25 but you should know that I will need to verify income and whoever is paying will need to be on the application and lease.

#2
Middle aged couple with no kids. Wife says “I don’t like the wood floors. If you can put down carpet and repaint to something brighter, we’d be interested. Also you will need to replace the stove.”
I’m thinking: The wood floors are new laminate that I just spent $1400 and two days installing. The paint is all new also. If you want to remodel a house, go buy one yourself.
I’m saying: Here’s a rental application. The application fee is $25. The property is being rented in its newly remodeled condition.

#3
Family. Made appointment and met me at house. Husband says “I need a 3 car garage.”
I’m thinking: The 2 in 4/3/2 stands for TWO car garage. Plus the photos show it’s a two car garage, so why are you here wasting my time and yours? Did you think I was hiding a third garage bay in the back yard?
I’m saying: Here’s a rental application. The application fee is $25. This house only has a two car garage.

#4
Very young guy, young 20’s maybe, called me from sign in yard. He’s parked at house. Says: “ I need a big place for my girlfriend and our 3 month old since we want to have more kids. Could you help me out and rent it to me for $xxx” (about ½ the rental rate).
I’m thinking: So you’re requesting that I contribute half your rent so you can have more kids that you can’t house and support.
I’m saying: I’m happy to provide an application. The application fee is $25. Sorry the rental rate is firm.

最后清讲一个自己的，几年前有一伊朗人，约好下午二点看房，他早到了，见我看房上一波还没走（我都约在同一天，open house 3 小时，20分钟一个）没进来，只Text 说到了。等我送前一波出走见他，吓一跳。只见他西装革履，还带着着正装的太太及正装的二小孩，路边停了个奔驰。你问你们是刚从教堂什么的出来？回答不是，是专程来看房的。看房十分钟，就说十分满意，当场要签。我说这是申请表，你填好后email寄来. 然后他就说了一堆可以一次付一年房租什么的。但是最后还是拿着申请表走了。接下来一连几天，他天天打电话给我说要约时间一起喝咖啡，然后面交申请表，都被我婉拒了，说你email 来吧。最后一次等到一周后我选定了人，告诉他己经租出去了。他显得非常失望。你到现在都没弄明白他什么来路。
