Would you rent to an applicant who didnt file tax returns
This woman can't substantiate her earnings, since she didnt file tax returns in 2017 or 2018. Dont know if she ever did. She uses 2 last names, and her kids have a 3rd last name. No child support or alimony. She says she makes $5K a month "net" and didnt know what her deductions came to. Hasn't been able to show pay stubs or records, and her supervisor is never available. Just one example of the time wasters out there. Her employer wanted me to pay $42 for them to verify her pay rate and how long she worked there. She's a RN so she must have some smarts. She also owes a fair amount of money around town, accounts in collection.

When I read your posts I am always shocked that you know and care about each prospects marriage status, offspring status, etc etc. its odd.
Income? sure
credit? Sure....
but familial questions? That goes against fair housing rules.....
