Background Check Returns Positive but Tenants claims it is not them
Hey guys,
the background check that I ran on one applicant that I have returned with 2 housing claims in one year. As I confronted the applicant with these claims, she was surprised and claimed that it must be someone else with the same name because she's never been to these 2 towns. She provided me with the list of addresses that she lived in , in the past 4 years with the landlord numbers to call. Is there anyway to verify that it is not her? I am thinking about asking her to get a letter from the housing court proving that these claims are not against her but someone else with a different name. Is that possible?

If you pulled up this data on her and the data is on someone else and not her, she needs to CALL THEM and straighten it out because it's going to follow her for the rest of her life.
Why would she, right out of the blue, have a list of previous addresses, and landlord numbers all ready and waiting for you if she was so shocked to find out there is someone else out there with her name having bad reports.
I don't like it. Smells bad to me. Next Please.
One other thought. Past 4 years (many landlords) hmmm why? She sounds like she's running and is a player. Move on.
