Disputed eviction on a background check

[Randy Barnard]

I have an applicant that had an eviction come back on his background check.  

When called he stated that it had to be a mistake.  My spider sense tells me he is being less than truthful but I’m not 100% sure.   

I have only been a landlord for a year and this is only my fifth unit so I’m still a newbie.  Has anyone run into this before?
