Hello,
I approved a couple to rent a home from me last week. We were to meet on Friday (Feb 4) to obtain a deposit/sign the lease. He was unable to make it on Friday and left me a voice mail indicating he would be off Wed/Thurs (Feb 9/10) and we could meet up then to obtain deposit/sign lease. Yesterday morning (Feb 9) I contacted him to arrange a time to meet. I never heard from him so I assumed he found something else to rent and this morning (Feb 10) I contacted the potential tenants on my waiting list to let them know the place was available. I showed the unit to three potential tenants this afternoon, one more scheduled for Sunday and still need to return two phone calls (ie: lots of interest). I then received a voice mail this evening from the initial tenant indicating that he would still like the place.
Would you rent it to the original tenant or move on and try to qualify someone else?
Not sure if it matters but someone will ask...the property is in Alberta.
Thanks!
Bart
