See this is the kind of practice that I think this website supplants; you’ve accepted the renter on the basis of the person before you get all the numbers, with the option of rejecting them if it doesn’t pan out. Your currrent practice (which is pretty much he same as any landlord I’ve dealt with) reduces the incidence of bias.
I think a better, fairer site would 1) not use pictures of bidders and 2) not reveal critical financial information until an offer was tentatively accepted - perhaps replacing number with “qualified” for bids up to a certain level of income.
