The Successful Landlord Blog

So, this is kind of an experimental post. Sort of a time-filler, an attempt at amusement while the one empty house is waiting to be rented. These are some of the excuses I’ve heard as to why potential tenants have bad credit.

• My wife/girlfriend/boyfriend/husband/roommate caused my bad credit.
• My finances never recovered from the last holiday season.
• I had to go to jail/court mandated rehab.
• My roommate caused me to get evicted.
• My family put the utilities in my name and defaulted.
• A medical emergency (this I can understand).

If anyone can think of any more, please add them to the comments.
