Fake reference story

[Tony H.]

Just sharing a story here.

I approved a tenant (boyfriend girlfriend with 3 kids) to rent our home.

I did all of the due diligence including checking landlord references. 
the girlfriend put a certain email address in the apllication as landlord reference contact. She also put a phone number.

I did a quick search and confirmed the phone number is correct. Their landlord also replied back to the email quickly. 

I offered them a lease, few hours later after some technology hiccups, she forwarded an email to me with that same email address she used for her landlord reference.

I immediately told them this is fraud and cancelled their lease. I didnt sign anything yet.

Now they are threatening lawsuit. They said I am racist 😀 

If I am racist, I wouldnt have offered a lease from the start. 

Whats funny is, I reached out to their landlord by text message. He confirmed the email that the girl provided is not his email. She knows this. The landlord told her the same thing. Yet she still says I am crazy and racist.

Wow! Im glad they didnt move in. It would have been much worse nightmare.
