Would you take a tenant who misrepresented herself in application?
Hi, I have been managing our own rental properties. Recently I have had an experience I am struggling with:
we have 3 unrelated parties who currently live together to apply, -- one of the applicants who only lived with the other 2 for 6 month together (she).
On the application current job she stated who she works for, how much she makes and what her job title is. By the time I requested pay stubs, she send in her unemployment pay history. I also found inconsistent and misrepresenting info on her debt ratio. Under normal circumstances, we would just denied her application and move on. But the other 2 applicants seems to have decent track records and credit score.
Shall I take them as equals on the Lease? Or give the other 2 the opportunity to apply and deny her only as applicant? Or shall I deny them all?
I know the final decision is ours, but I wanted to hear what other landlord have to say if they are in the situation.
Thank you in advance!
