Declining to Give and Application

Hey BP,

I showed one of my rentals last night to a person who got through my pre-screening which includes asking if the person has had an eviction to which he replied, "Never". I did a quick search on his name and address and found he has a couple of evictions and other small claims, looks to me like a professional tenant or one in the making.

In practice, what is the best way to handle this? Should I allow him to apply and send him an application and then deny him or deny giving him an application on grounds he has an eviction? I am looking to avoid falling into some obscure legal trap he could use here (if any).

Thank you for your input!

Aaron
