Am I Biased? Would You Rent to Them?

It seems like wingnuts are flying off the shelf these days and I am receiving even more content for a potential book about tenant stories. Here is the email I received the other day in response to one of my weekly rental ads on Kijiji;

I want your condo for 2 days, i m planing on having a party. It’s going to be my Birthday Bash so yeup
let me know if you agree, also let me know how much for a day & i’ll let you know when i want it.
email me asap Please and thank you

So, what do you think, should I contact the person? Seem like a winning solution? Just to show how confounding this is,below is a section from my ad,

To ensure a great experience for our residents the property has the following rules in place;

  • no smoking in the home
  • no drugs
  • no overnight visitors
  • treat the other guests with respect
  • no parties

These rules help create a safe quiet environment and also discourage the types of roommates we are sure you do not want to share a place with.

I highlighted a couple spots the potential short term tenant appears to have glossed over! Bottom line, I think I will take a pass and not bother to reply, I know, I could be throwing away money, but sometimes you just have to take a chance and pass on an exceptional offer!

Love to hear any stories from you!
