Help with decision, on whether these are the right tenants

[Kris Belco]

My rental has been out on the market for 2 weeks. Have got a lot of inquiries but only one showing. Two undergrads, in their senior year, graduating in May 2014. Both have job offers with very reputed consulting firms. Their combined monthly gross income will be almost 6x the monthly rent.

Here is the "but": both are international students, with very little credit report and tenant history. They have been in the US for 4 years, and have lived in the dorm for that time.

I have run SmartMove reports both. Clean, but very little information, as they haven't really built up credit. Clean criminal records. I have verified that they are current students in the college. Verified that their job offers and salaries are legit. And the best (or maybe the worst) part is that my gut instinct tells me they are good kids. Both are in their early 20s, and both seemed genuinely frustrated that a lot of landlords are very skeptical about them and denying them rentals. Which, as far as I know, is illegal. That is denying rental based on nationality.

My heart, and most of my brain, tells me that they will turn out fine. But there is a tiny part of the brain that still needs convincing.

What do people think?
