This trick works for me too. If you are not too keen on someone you can't say "Piss off you look like a druggie - no free housing here". as it's against the law to disciminate. But you can say "I'm pleased you like the place, I'm advertising it for three weeks and will choose the most suitable tenant, so come back in a week or two with rent references, sign this to give me permission to phone your employer for a reference, and bring proof of income such as bank statements". This gets rid of a few more.
