landlord seeking help

[Senator]

Aren't your rentals there? If so, what are you doing about this?

I do not have any rentals in Minneapolis or St Paul.

To be fair to my potential tenants, I actually run the credit check / criminal / eviction check LAST, and don't take or refund the fee if there is a problem I see before (like insufficient income or inability to document income) or someone more qualified comes along before I have been able to verify employment 2nd past landlord reference etc.

I don't take anyone with a late payment history on their credit at all in the past year, and if older than one year, need a decent and verifiable explanation.

I like this order of qualifying tenants.

Will use it the next time I need it.

Thanks

Good lord. 575 is the average? Doesn't anybody pay any bills at all?

Sounds like the city fathers' way of saying: "If you want to be a landlord in this environment [god help you], knock yourself out..."

MPLS looked at the demographics and saw that the average credit score in N. Mpls was 575. So they settled on a 500 score being good enough.
