Real Estate Property Asset Management Practice Test

A property manager can request other landlord references on a tenant application because this information directly relates to the tenant's rental history and behavior as a tenant. Checking with previous landlords provides insight into the tenant's reliability, payment history, and overall conduct while renting. This helps the property manager assess the potential risks or benefits of renting to the applicant.

The other options involve sensitive personal information or irrelevant factors that do not contribute to the ability to pay rent or maintain the property. Birth control practices and intent to get married are private aspects of an applicant’s life that do not pertain to their qualifications as a tenant. Inquiries about welfare money pertain to the source of income, which can sometimes be considered discriminatory or irrelevant when assessing financial stability, as income should be evaluated based on its reliability rather than its source.
