[QUOTE="DDD, post: 584894, member: 35"] I don't know if this might help but here are some random ideas: 1. Are you going alone to seek out apartments? If not...do. Don't take a kid or a friend. You want to be the focus. 2. Are you emphasizing the strong points of having you as a tenant? For example, "I have lived here for x years and this is my hometown. I have stable employment working for the XYC school system at the high school near this apt. 3. Although I have had my pet for many years I am willing to find a new home for her if you prefer no pets. 4. I have no small children so there is no concern about bothering other tenants. 5. I have a letter from my current landlord attesting to the fact that my rent has been paid in a timely manner and that I maintain a clean home. 6. Although I have paid my rent in a timely fashion I did make a mistake by overlooking the separate water bill. I have always leased with water included in the rent and unfortunately I forgot that new obligation. 7. We are a quiet family and do not entertain multiple guests. On occasion we I have a friend over for dinner but we are not "party" people. Perhaps a list pointing out your positive points might emphasize your honesty and desireability. Hugs DDD [/QUOTE]
