I believe
that in many cases, your instincts about a person can be more accurate than raw
data.
Sometimes I get to this stage of the screening, and everything indicates
that they should be good tenants except for a nagging feeling I just can't
shake.
Here's an example: I once put a tenant into a house even though I had a
gut feeling that something was not quite right. After taking them to tribunal
twice so that I could get them out (after less than two months), they managed
to vandalise the property from top to bottom with graffiti before they left. If
only I had followed my gut instinct about these tenants those 2 months of hell
would never have happened.
Don’t underestimate this step.
