So I had this mobile home I was renting out. This really nice guy contacts me and asks me to rent it to him. He seemed desparate. His wife is disabled. He's been declared temporily disabled.
I pulled the credit report and it was horrible. But this guy was so nice. He explained that it was all medical bills which he could not afford to pay. He even had a pastor as a reference and was a very likable guy. But I decided not to rent to him anyway and I sent him an email notice as to my decision.
He sent me two emails back. Both with FUs on it. I'm like, woah! So glad I didn't rent to him. He definitely has temper issues.
Update:
So the guy sent me an email requesting that I give back the $30 application fee that he wrote a check to me for. Being nice, I ate the cost of pulling background check and sent him a money order for $30 as refund.
Turns out that his check bounced so now I'm out $7 from the fee for trying to deposit a bounced check, plus cost of pulling credit report, plus he's about to receive my money order and cash it. Is there anyway I can stop it from being cashed? Maybe run back to the post office and talk to them, what should I say? He'll receive the money order this Saturday I think.
UPDATE2
So I sent him an email:
Dear Mr. XXXXX XXXX:
... It has turned out that the check did not clear and I was charged $7 for your bounced check. As of now, I am out $30 for the cost of the background check and $7 for a bounced check. I can't believe you, a man of God, can be so untrustworthy. It is disappointing. ..
In order to prevent more losses on my part, I have informed the post office to cancel the money order and place a fraud alert for it. For your own sake, please do not attempt to cash this money order. I do not wish for you to get yourself into any more trouble by attempting to cash a canceled money order. I WILL MAIL BACK YOUR BOUNCED CHECK as soon as the bank sends it back to me.
Note:
This email message will be save as proof that I informed you of the canceled money order and may be used in a court of law as proof that you were notified that the money order was canceled.
