Renting a room to someone on probation?

Jon K.
Posted

Man, I get some real winners.

This one I'm actually considering, only because I need to find someone now and this person lives part-time here, part-time away. All other inquiries were smokers, twice my age, unemployed, massive pets, or people with kids.

This person pleaded guilty to a felony charge of leaving the scene of a vehicle accident within the past 6 months. They have a few years probation. They're supposed to pay fines, etc. No evictions that I can find. Job was able to be verified. What does their probation mean for me as a roommate/landlord?

Am I crazy for considering this person?
