What constitutes lying about income on application?

[Dana Holland]

My tenant put on their application that they make $6500 plus bonus per month.  Looking at the pay stubs, he made $3,040 gross on both and is paid twice a month, so $6,080 per month.  Both stubs have a car allowance on them that plus him closer to the $6500 value but I don't think that should count as income, right?  

I'm looking for a reason to get rid of them and lying about income on an application is a reason to evict.  However, the pay stubs were included before signing the contract, I just never looked closely at the itemization of them until now.  Not sure that would hold up as a valid reason or not?

If the person gets the car allowance every month, as opposed to just a one time payment, then I would count it as income. Regardless, it sounds like this person is already your tenant with a valid lease as opposed to just an applicant you're screening for potential tenancy. If that's the case, what you describe is not likely grounds for eviction. The fact that you "never looked closely at the itemization" of the documentation submitted with the application is not really the tenant's fault.
