Landlords: Advertising online
1)- What website do you use for advertising?
I saw Padmapper dotcom but didn't try it.
It uses some kind of $30 Experion reporting system that applicants set up and pay themselves.
Equifax(actually all three) ruined my credit for 11 years and wouldn't even send me forms to contest it.
I did list on Apartments dotcom. (aka apartmentfinder/move/doorstep/westsiderentals)
It changed my phone number on the ad. I called the number and left myself a voicemail.
"Ok so it conceals my ID."
A great idea or..?
Here is where it gets F.C.C. sketchy:
-I check my email and it says "click here to hear your voicemail".
-To access my phone company voicemail, I have to click thru a special javascript link inside their email?
-Wait wut?
-So instead of routing the entire call thru my phone company, apparently they've re-routed my phone and voice data storage entirely through their own network.
-I did not agree to that.
-It's a bit creepy and possibly illegal.
There were many hundreds of views for my ad, but not a single person got it from that company.
Everyone who toured said they found my ad on Craigslist.
I didn't any email directly either. Weird.
2)- Renting to foreigners?
Specifically from Canada.
If something went wrong and they skipped town, I'm not sure about the reciprocation/legal service process north of the border for civil disputes.
Anyone dealt with that?
