Tenant Application - Eviction on record

[Tess Tari]

First of all, let me say that everyone here has been my rock since we started this whole process!  I appreciate all of the helpful comments!!!

I was having issues getting applications on my rental.  We have had quite a few people come and look at it, and everyone loves it - but have had only one application so far.

The application has 4 adults.  3 look good/great, and the income/rent ratio is great.  However, one of the applicants has an eviction 21 months ago.  This is my only issue on paper.  

I'm trying to be smart, not desperate.  They also want a shorter term, which has me more questionable than I'd like to be.  

They seem to be couples, so I don't think I can choose only three - I would have to give in on all four or deny all four.

How do you else feel about one out of four people being a denial? Would you approve? Would you deny?
