RE: applicant lied on rental application

Yes, yes, yes. You can absolutely deny the application. Do not sign a lease. This is a pretty good sign that they will continue to not tell you everything. You can simply deny them on financial inadequacy. This is not discrimination, this is a truth that you feel that they will not have the means to pay the rent monthly and on time.

Feature Spotlight: Why do I need A Lease Package?

Those basic leases you can find in office supply stores or buy from online vendors can look appealingly cheap and easy, but chances are, they don't meet all of the legal requirements for binding leases in your state. If you entrust your rental unit to a stand-alone lease, you may not be fully protected, especially if you wind up in court with your tenant over a contract dispute.

By using our exclusive Lease-Builder Wizard with State Assist, you'll get unmatched convenience, peace of mind, and protection for not much more than other sites charge for a generic lease.
