Can I deny a couple because one tenant has poor credit
I'm currently screening applicants for our first rental property. I have a couple that applied. His credit and background is great. Hers is horrible. Can I deny the whole situation because of one applicant (I"m in California)? They applied as co-applicants. If he came back to me and said he wanted to apply alone, I don't think that she wouldn't be staying there and that would be a breach of my lease. I just don't want him to come back at me and say I unfairly denied him because she didn't qualify. Just want to be sure I'm doing things legally correct. Thanks for any input.
