Applicant has Federal Tax Leins

[Adam F.]

I've had my rental listed for about 2 months now, and haven't had anyone fill out an application until this week. I should mention this is the second turnover I've ever had and I've only been a landlord for about 2 years now.

I just got the screening results back, and everything looked really good except I noticed they both (married couple) had multiple small business federal tax leins between 2010 and 2017, for amounts up to 350k. I'm not sure if this is a deal breaker since they both have really good credit, good income etc. Plus they're my only serious prospects right now and are looking to rent for 2+ years. However federal tax leins sound pretty serious to me, especially with those types of numbers.

Just looking for some advice or insight here on the best way to move forward.
