Background check shows an eviction. How to proceed.

[Manoj N.]

I used e-renter for background check of an applicant. Although he mentioned he was never evicted in the application form, an eviction incident came up in the report.  Address listings in the report show that he had some connection with that city (where eviction happened). No SSN provided in the eviction report (only name match) - so we are not for sure. How to proceed in this case ? Just decline the application? Ask the applicant about it ? Or should I try finding the plaintiff listed in the eviction case and ask him/her ? Otherwise the report looks good (passed FICO 621 test).
