Wow. Is selling the property considered a good reason?
They will probably eliminate that. Some places such as Seattle state that you have to give the current tenant the first right of refusal and make them a low ball offer to buy the home, then wait for them to get financing which usually falls through (that’s why they are renting in the first place).
I have a vacancy opening up approx 5/15-6/1. 3 bdrm downstairs apt newly rehabbed with off street parking. Twenty responses so far, all are duds. Credit score below 600, living in a hotel, criminal records, mega pets, pitbulls, getting evicted from their current place, etc. Biggest reason for moving is the “landlord is selling.” I’ve found several over the last year who really aren’t selling but want to get rid of the PITA tenant so they use that excuse. Usually takes me 60-100 responses to get one good one who is stable, has a credit score over 600, a good PREVIOUS LL reference and a decent job.
