Prospective Tenant Reference was untruthful

[Javier Beuzeville]

I accepted a prospective tenant's lease and deposit after doing due diligence. The previous leasing company confirmed the resident had paid their rent on time every time. The tenant paid his deposit in cashier's checks and left his account ledger from the previous leasing company (No clue why) showing he had fallen behind on rent payments for 4 months. There is also a mismatch on what he was paying for rent versus what he disclosed on his application (previous rent was lower). What are my options in the state of Georgia - specifically Atlanta?
