 Overstating your income

 providing information which is clearly inaccurate about your income or employment – even if the FLK Lettings would have been satisfied with the correct information

 failing to disclose (when directly asked) any relevant information which later comes to the landlord or agent’s attention

such as valid (CCJ)County Court Judgements, (IVA) Individual Voluntary Arrangements or (DMP)Debt Management Plan
