Default Landlords...how do u choose a tenant?

I have an available apartment. I have been showing it and having prospective tenants fill out my applications. I thoroughly check my tenants backgrounds. Now, I am left with 2 that I would like to rent to but I can't find that deciding factor. I have never encountered this problem! I wish I had another unit available. Has anyone else had this happen? How do u decide on what appear to be two perfect tenants? I have never seen 2 sets of strangers so much alike!

if both potential tenants are just as good as each other then just pick one at random.

but do check that both are legit about what they've told you. you don't want to get burnt on this

The very first thing to know when renting an apartment is that you are not selecting a friend. Renting is a commercial relationship. You should approach selecting a tenant the same way you would select a building to buy. Ask yourself: Will I get the rent I want from the tenant without too many hassles?

Have to agree with John and pellissa, it is all about business but if they are both equally suitable I think I would go with the first one that made contact with you, I think that would be the fairest way.
