COMMON REASONS THAT GET YOU DECLINED
It’s important to also look at the reasons landlords reject prospective renters. Incomplete application forms, previous evictions or active collections from other landlords and a credit score below 590, are some of the most common reasons to be declined. Also, criminal records may be grounds for denial. Review our complete Tenant Qualification Criteria to learn more.
