One of my children in Dallas has moved out of his apartment, put a fresh coat of paint and gave it thorough cleaning, to allow a family to move in and posted it on the list. The apartment requires the family to fill out their names and previous address along with an emergency contact. No credit application... they just want to know who is in their apartment building.
The first people that called via a sister was very happy to have it until they found out they had to give information. They turned it down. He explained that it wasn't a credit app... they just want to know who they are. The woman hung up.
I'm very proud of him, but I admit to being a bit nervous about it and feeling guilty for being nervous.
