[quote user=JimWhitelaw]For instance, when I advertise a "Pet friendly 3 Bedroom suite for $1200/mo" and then a prospective tenant calls up to ask "How many bedrooms, how much is rent and do you allow pets?" I simply can't imagine WTH they are thinking. :|
Jim I feel your pain - do I ever!
And to your point I get what you say, my mind works like no one else's so I want different things, I think Don only wants us to engage in the process. My only take away from this is to the post following yours - the potential tenant is looking at many many ads, hence the obvious (stupid) question. Anybody with tact will simply say, "sorry but I just need to confirm the rent and # of beds, I've viewed many today" As we know, tact is hardly a prerequisite for being a tenant
Anyways try different things, try to stand out, run 2 different ads for the same vacancy.
Just never, never stray into the forbidden territory of.... FONT ABUSE!
