Selecting the right roommate (tenant)

Posted

Hello Fellow BPers! I am renting my guest bedroom in my home and have potential roommates who have expressed interest. Roommate #1 is a 30-year old female medical student who is moving from NJ to MN for a year. She won't have a job and claims her father will be paying her rent. The problem is I haven't met her yet to get a good vibe. Roommate #2 is male and looks to be about 50s-60s and claims he has a couple of jobs as a data scientist working for a well-known company in the Twin Cities and a workout instructor (I plan to verify his employment) and I have met him and seems like a decent person. I'm female in my 40's. Who should I pick?? Help and Thank you in advance for your feedback!! Cheers!!
