Ask for references, including current and past landlords, and base your choices on actual past behavior.
Sounds like a response from someone who has never been deeply involved in the rental industry. Understandable.
You don't even have to be involved in the rental industry to know how meaningless references can be. I've lost count of the number of people my company has hired based on GLOWING references only to find out how worthless and clueless they really are.
I can't speak for the quality of your company's hiring practices, however I can tell you of MY experiences in renting (after all, that's what we're talking about in this post -- not some company's hiring practices). Please re-read what I wrote. I say nothing about references, glowing or otherwise. I just know, from firsthand experience, and PLENTY of it, that renting to active duty military personnel has been the best experience for us that a landlord could ever ask for. As for your company, I'm sorry for their issues. Hope they get it figured out.
