Would you lie on payment history for your tenant?

[Dana Richardson]

Hello,

We have tenants that moved to Florida from out of state and didn’t have rental history, jobs, and also a low credit score.  We rented to them as they had cash from selling their home and paid us first, last, and security plus 3 months of rent extra.  Needless to say, multiple times they were not able to pay and we had to use all the reserve funds and sent them notice of non renewal.  We are now getting notice from something they filled out asking us about their payment history,  They are nice people and take good care of our home, but they lack communication and clearly can not handle their finances.  What would you do?  Lie or tell the truth?

Thank you,

Dana
