Thankfully, the large PM co's reject them for no FICO.

Part of the screening process is to set your rent at a level that will eliminate a large portion of applicants that you would ultimately reject.

I reject anyone I do not want for any reason I choose and am always able to defend my decision but surprisingly have never had to.

You need to reject these applicants.

If one has a issue you reject both.Rule number one there is no room for emotions in business.

Rent to whom ever you want to and don't worry about repercussions for rejecting a applicant that does not qualify or that you are not personally comfortable renting to.You have taken the screening of this applicant much farther than most landlords.

Find out the details and if it in any way places future risk on you as a landlord you simply reject them.Any judgement regarding a previous landlord is a automatic rejection.

Either take it up front or reject them.

As a landlord I mitigate risk and decide on accepting or rejection based on all the data collected.

If you reject, you're out of the program.
