Thank you for reaching out about property ABC.
It is still available for rent and we do have a set standard of criteria we require to be eligible for consideration.
If interested, you must have the following in place:
  • Your monthly net/gross salary should be three times the rent.
  • We run a full background and credit check on each person over the age of 18. This is to be paid for by the applicant.
  • We also do not allow smoking or pets at this residence.
If you’re comfortable with ALL of the terms above I’d be happy to answer anymore question you may have about the rental.

I look forward to chatting with you.
