[quote=Anonymous]My rental home in Virginia needs a new tenant, and I thought I found the perfect one. The place has unique features that align well with this prospective tenant's needs (partially furnished, timing is exact right, etc.) and so far all of our interactions have not led me to believe there would be any issues... Until he filled out our tenant screening application, and now I'm very hesitant. The report suggested not to accept this tenant, saying: 
 Recency of a balance overlimit on a bankcard account
 Bankcard account balances are too high in proportion to credit limits
 Too many serious derogatory items

This person is self-employed and reports an income that would be fine for the rent price. I don't have anyone else lined up for this unit. What could I request he provide as proof of income? If you would absolutely not rent to him, how would you word your message informing him?  Also I feel bad he paid the tenant screening application fee and now probably will be told he's not accepted. What would you do? [/quote]
