2) If I deny him, can I tell him that it is because he is a smoker?

Then, you can still deny if what's on the report scares you. 

If they were 15 minutes late without calling me because they were stuck in gridlocked traffic, I denied them. 

i mean, what's to say the kids they claim are their own but denied having, arent recent kidnap victims or something?! 

You may even go so far as to say that anyone who does not respect this will be automatically denied.They'll still do it, but at least you can then deny them without a grain of guilt.And if they're a no-show or are late past 15 minutes, I'd deny them, too.I'd be amazed how some people would be complete no-shows, then call me a day or two later wanting to make another appointment and be completely shocked when I told them I would never rent to them because they did not value my time.How do these people make it through life, I'd wonder?

Do whatever you have to do to legally deny residency to this tenant.  

Call them your wife, her kid, whatever - come apply when she gets to the country.And I think it's really important to stick to your criteria, and never be swayed away from your criteria because someone is promising to throw cash at you, so you'll ignore your criteria.If your criteria says someone doesn't qualify whose income is half the rent, then deny him. 

We go denied due to "wear and tear" we are still fighting that.

The tenants will deny it of course, but it puts them on notice, 2) contact the Hawaii police and ask them what do they recommend that I do.James K. said -- Well, you should contact authorities.

A landlord cannot deny it if the tenant has a letter from a health professional stating the need for one.
