Discourage an application

[Clayton Mercer]

I showed my property to a couple who gave me a story about they are closing in the sale of their home in the next month. There goal is to to down size and would like to rent for a while.

Something didn’t feel right so I looked up on tax records and drove by their current house. House is in disrepair and no for sale sign or listing history.

I would absolutely deny there application. I don’t want them to be out the $80 application fee (I use Cozy). Since I have made my decision, should I reach out and ask them not to apply?
