Good day BP members, I don't know if I should laugh but many of you who have seen my post, I have evicted a tenant who was non-paying and possibly using a false identity. Well I just got a call today from said ex-tenant (didn't know until later) to schedule a tour for one of our rental. When I was listening though I heard a familiar voice, so after scheduling a tour for them. I decided to plug in their number into Zelle and boom behold it's under the ex-tenant's "real" name but under a different number. Anyone ever run into situations like this before?

Yes. It happens.
Have them fill out an application. With luck, you can capture their real name and contact information so your debt collectors will have an easier time finding them and collecting the money they owe you.

Sounds scary to me. Hopefully you've cancelled the showing. As a realtor, I run phone numbers through Forewarn first. They should show who owns the number.

Luckily, I've got news that Mibor is actually adding Forewarn into their arsenal starting next month.

It surprises me what people will try to pull these days. I bet if we all combined our stories, it would make a great book. I think @Greg Scott had a great idea. Hopefully you can collect on what they owe you.

This situation is unfortunately more prevalent than it should be. I wholeheartedly agree that you should maintain your usual process and provide them with evidence of the previous balance owed. It’s essential to approach this matter with transparency and professionalism.
