Denied applicant based on income - now they say they have a housing voucher

[Katarina Takahashi]

This is my first time as a landlord screening applicants.

I had an applicant on Zillow for a property with an income less than the rent amount. I confirmed with them their income amount. After they confirmed they make less than the rent, I denied the application on those grounds.

After that, they messaged me that they have a housing voucher which was not included in the application as a source of income and that the housing voucher would make their income reach the minimum requirements.

What do I do now? Tell them to re-apply, since their application has already been denied? I don't want to discriminate and I know it's important to be fair and take into account all income sources such as housing vouchers. 

Thank you in advance for any advice.

You denied them based on the information on their application.  If your worry is about discrimination then there is no worry, if that want the voucher factored into their income then they need to re apply for reconsideration.
