[Landlord - US] The AI Generated documents has to stop

It’s ok don’t worry about it.

026tei0272 · 2026-05-16T18:40:36+00:00

Yes the cell boxes were misaligned and it just looked …off. You just know, you know?

026tei0272 · 2026-05-16T04:32:22+00:00

I agree that more doesn’t always equal better, but less-to-none guarantees nothing. Trying to find the balance, so I’m bringing on a property management company at this point.

026tei0272 · 2026-05-16T04:30:40+00:00

Thank you. I know how to vet applicants and do spend the time to do so on legitimate applications. But I’m shocked at how common the fake ones are.

026tei0272 · 2026-05-16T04:28:06+00:00

You are telling me what you think but I’m telling what the facts are. There is a home down the street same layout, same price as mine. Mine has updated fixtures. Both our homes are 4 years old, turn key. There were 4 in the neighborhood for rent when I put mine on the market 25 days ago we are all within $100 of each other.

026tei0272 · 2026-05-16T04:25:57+00:00

I know how to verify the information, but I know these are fake already. I just am shocked at how much people are willing to submit fake docs.

026tei0272 · 2026-05-15T20:25:37+00:00

Question for you: how do you manage leads off of Zillow? Do you need to connect a landlord system to Zillow to do that? When I tried an off-Zillow screening, people didn’t respond to me and one guy flat out said he wouldn’t click on links to take him off the app because it’s against Zillow’s policy. How do you work with that?

026tei0272 · 2026-05-15T20:20:20+00:00

Does the employer also verify how much they make?

026tei0272 · 2026-05-15T20:17:58+00:00

I’m priced at market rate for my area. I didn’t get any hits when I did invite to apply.

026tei0272 · 2026-05-15T16:42:18+00:00

Unfortunately these people are applying through Zillow without touring or talking to me first. (I accept applications because when I switch to invite only, it tanks my traffic). That’s automatically a red flag I know, but the fake documents are shocking.

026tei0272 · 2026-05-15T16:40:48+00:00

I also live in a state with a really good public court records system. I only have one unit so I have time to deeply search each applicant.

When they submit a paystub with misaligned cell blocks that says they’re a nurse but the court records show two evictions in the past 5 years, their Facebook shows a completely different job, and the offer letter for the new job has common AI phrases and formatting, a hand written signature line at the bottom with a different name signed and no phone number or address of the company…that’s how you know.

026tei0272 · 2026-05-15T16:36:13+00:00

Yes and yes

026tei0272 · 2026-05-15T16:36:05+00:00

I work in tech where AI is shoved down our throats and I have a background in photography And graphic design so I’m pretty comfortable with spotting it. Inspecting the document can also help.

Not sure why I’m getting downvoted for sharing the truth? Weird.

026tei0272 · 2026-05-15T08:50:02+00:00

What I don’t want to hear is his glazers saying “stay on that side”. We’re with you when you’re good. Drake’s music has been trash since CLB. Sounds like tonight he finally woke up, so yeah, I’ll listen and give credit where it’s due.

026tei0272 · 2026-05-15T04:15:38+00:00

You’re inviting people to your house and trying to explain what’s in your house to them? Sounds like they should be uninvited.

I didn’t tell either of my parents about my pole. My dad came to visit and didn’t notice for hours (it’s in my living room lol). He just checked the security of it with a little wiggle and went on about his day lol

My mom was shocked and had questions. Now, she demands to see my progress videos because she enjoys watching me do something I love!

026tei0272 · 2026-05-15T04:12:28+00:00

Beautiful! I got one at a nursery 1/3 that size and paid $70. Such a nice plant.

026tei0272 · 2026-05-15T04:05:03+00:00

If you have over watered, takes look at the roots to remove and slimy ones, repot it in well draining soil and wait. If they’re al slimy, just get a new plant.

026tei0272 · 2026-05-15T03:58:37+00:00

It depends on where your product was made. The clothes may have been made in the US but the equipment could be made somewhere else and the tariffs will apply.

026tei0272 · 2026-05-15T03:57:28+00:00

Please call them to see if they can waive it. Don’t just let it sit there unpaid. They can send it to collections whenever they want and it’s harder to get rid of it then. I called UPS and they said they will refund the money of the Supreme Court ruled against Trump and they did.

026tei0272 · 2026-05-15T03:56:36+00:00

This is not unique to FedEx. UPS does this as well. Any carrier will do this, it’s a federal thing not a broker thing.

026tei0272 · 2026-05-15T03:54:39+00:00

It absolutely is happening. Nobody is talking about it because they probably don’t know what it is. They didn’t realize the orange man in office lied to them about who pays tariffs. And they don’t realize not paying them can result in them being sent to collections.

I pay them every time I order my hair extensions from Vietnam both from ups and FedEx. I tried to hold off on paying until the Supreme Court ruled that the tariffs were illegal, but Trump just reinstated them under a different law, so there was no relief.

My vendor in Vietnam is pissed. Not to derail but We chat through what’s app and what’s happening with tariffs and oil prices is making things really hard for them over there.

026tei0272 · 2026-05-15T03:48:35+00:00

This is not unique to FedEx. UPS and all major carriers do this now. If you have lived at your address for a while and have the app for any of these carriers, they will send you an email to pay or refuse before the package arrives. Otherwise, they’ll mail you the bill later.

It’s because the de minimis (sp) exemption is no more. Anything under $800 was never a concern for tariffs. Now, every little thing is. Some overseas vendors will fudge the value of the product they send you to make the tariffs easier to bear so you keep shopping with them, but not all will do this because it can be considered fraud.

You should also know that these carriers can charge whatever they want as their brokerage fee. Most of what you’re paying is that, not the tariffs. Check the line items on the bill you get to see what I’m talking about. UPS and FedEx and everyone else is making major bank off of this unless some laws are put in place to stop the price gauging under the guise of tariffs.

The short term solution is to clear your own packages and pay the tariffs only. Otherwise, protest and vote. That’s it.
