choosing a tenant and informing unlucky parties

[Account Closed]

Hello,

I'm looking for advice on the best way to inform the unlucky party they were not chosen.  In this case, there are two lovely families and I feel bad one will not get selected.  One family has a higher income and less risk, while the other has young children.

Both qualified financially and seemed to really like the property.  Any advice on how to break the news?
