.#5 should be more of a statement, something like 'Each Adult will pay a $25 application fee'I would guess that the woman either doesn't want to pay a fee, or she doesn't want to have to reveal some information that is sensitive to her.

Thanks you, to everyone who posted.I think if you do your due diligence, the false reference reveals itself.

I just bought a 60watt equivalent GE reveal LEd lightbulb for $5 at Home Depot.

Especially if the background checks and verification process reveals something that disqualifies the earlier candidate.

If you don't want me to reveal your identity, I can do that too.  

If going through those steps revealed red flags, then I would have stopped the process.

,If litigation / investigation reveals that the application date of the person with animal is before the date of the application which is ultimately accepted, and no other conditions validate non-acceptance of the person with the animal, you could be held accountable for violations of the law.You'll want to contact a local attorney.

In other places, it may even reveal enroachments.At least go as far as having the property lines verified and stake up some strings to show where the fence would go.That should send a message, I think...David J Dachtera

I notified a potential tenant via text that their application was denied after the $35 tenant screening service revealed an active, open bankruptcy (<6 months) (as well as two prior dismissed bankruptcy filings), a recent eviction filing and judgment (<6 months), two collection actions, and a prior but old criminal conviction (non-violent offense).

But, it's good to be aware that may be a possibility.I would be careful about leading a tenant to specific information about legal remedies and what laws govern landlords, as revealed in the City of Greenville document.
