Oh yeah, rent to the first person who applies?
Are they nuts?
If that person seems like a good safe bet sure.
In that quest of the perfect dreamland, I think there are some nightmares waiting to happen.
I believe it is the first person who qualifies. Not sure what the qualifications have to be, but maybe the landlord has some leeway in setting them. But the psycho Seattle City Council will probably step in and establish criteria that landlords have to accept. You would have to be crazy to be a landlord in Seattle.
