@Account ClosedThese are all 12 month leases because they are brand new build to keep townhouses and the banks need to see all 12 month leases within 6 months of completion.

I am still trying to get ahold of the reference since they talked to another person at our company.  I will definably verify everything she is saying is true and it is not caused by any other circumstances.  But I was told that he was very adamant about not letting him rent and that one I talked to her when I first called her that the Tenant was in her presence at work and could not say what she really wanted to say.  It did make me think back to when I called his references and they all pretty much seemed to say the same thing about him.  Maybe they were all his co workers or something?  Not too sure but just getting a bad feeling about it and don't want to go through the hassle of eviction.

Thanks @Christopher Phillips     Definitely going to run everything by an attorney first.

Now would you think its easier to fight them in court for breach of contract or go through the eviction process and possibly have them destroy the brand new unit?

It is all done electronically through our system, so yes he does have access to a signed copy.

Hi All,

I have a future tenant that signed a lease and has given a security deposit already.  I just received a call though from one of their references telling me to not let them move in and that they were in his presence when I first called them as a reference.  He is from a foreign country and has no real credit/ rental history.  I called his work and his income is verified.  The reference told me that he will pay the first month and not pay again and that he has children so it will be extremely hard to evict him.  I'd rather just not have him move in than go through all the hassle.  Any info on this would be of great help!

Thanks!
