Tenant prior address history, not matching application info?!

[Nancy L.]

I'm renting an apartment in an area where bad credit applications are typical. Got an applicant who presents professionally and has a good income. Was strongly considering the app, but did a complete background check through MyRental.com. This is my first time checking anything but credit. The service provided a previous address history with dates, and is showing 4 addresses in the past 3 yrs that were not listed on the application. (This is in addition to the two addresses that were listed on the application.) Credit report shows some of these same additional addresses.

Any idea if these histories are accurate? Is it possible for them to be coming up because a separated spouse lived? Any suggestions on what to do with this info?

I looked up all 4 addresses, all are small multi-families, like the one I'm renting. I was only able to get a phone number for one, and no one is answering that line.

Thank you @Aly W.! I hope I'll be able to find a solution... Already asking a larger deposit (2 months) on this place because we're typically working with ppl with credit issues. I would certainly consider a large rent pre-payment too, that might be a workable solution, though I doubt this particular applicant could come up with it.
