Mortgage application bullshit meter rising

I was asked to submit a letter why we decided to rent out the house we're living in while we waited for our mortgage application on the same house to be completed.

I'm thinking about sending this in:

1.My family doesn't like living in a cardboard box while we were waiting for the mortgage approval to be completed. And since camping out in the front lawn chasing away other prospective buyers was ruled out, renting the location until the funds were approved seemed the best option.

Does snark work with mortgage companies stupid questions?
