Or am I being over sensitive?

(I was in the timber business for many years) and I cut my teeth selling land in the Sacramento area and N.

Beyond Tenantify doing all the legwork of verifying what they state as income, I'm not handling SSI, and tenants often feel it's a bit more secure doing it themselves online (which they should given how loose most agents and realtors play with sensitive financial data).  

If your application had lines for him to fill out regarding type of income and how much from each source, and he ignored that and just wrote "retired" and $5700 - you could just deny him for not filling out the application completely.When you have to pull teeth to get info from applicants, you're just better off denying them, because dealing with them on anything after they move in will be the same way - they won't be cooperative or respectful.

Anything with teeth (including me) can be aggressive and dangerous in a provoking situation.  

Obviously, tenants are very sensitive to any words that sound like a rent increase might be in their future.

I wouldn't personally let her pay half and hope she pays the rest later without also filing for the first step in eviction...this is because you've said it's basically been like pulling teeth in the past to get her to pay on time.

We've put in a ton of pot lights but if you're sensitive it may not be a fit"By the time someone comes to see it they understand all the potential issues and are ready to go.

I think this post carries too much sensitivity & this is a post where validation has to be justified only by the OP.

With residents predictably angered by the encroaching move, the ever-reliable internet army also showed its teeth.
