Rejecting people over this can get you a fair housing violation.

First case is simple, you try to get a loan for a property without having income you would simply get rejected.

If that is done on one of my sales I might reject the offer unless I know the lender and, maybe, the borrower.

One has a great credit score, one has a rich father (Doctor) who pays his rent no matter what, and two have zero credit history, and both have erratic or very recent job hires.I've already rejected one of the four due to no credit history and too short of job history, and the fact that the guy doesn't respond when I asked for follow up info. 

Every single time I was told by the agent that the seller had rejected my offer.

When you get a tenant, its the one that's been rejected from other properties, so they're willing to pay your higher price. 

I did this before approving their application and needless to say, I rejected them.

That seems to defuse the "professional complainers" - it's not that I'm rejecting them, I'm just taking the stronger applicants.

I was not expecting 2 month's rent to be withhold, just one.my rent is not above market. in fact, i am getting $75 more than what the previous tenant was paying. my house is in the perfect location, amazing house and people think they can get in...until they see the requirements that i have listed to get in. that's why i had just 3 applications and rejected 2.I just talked to him after he avoided 6-7 of our calls.
