1st Time Landlord - What would you do with this?

[Kim Lutes]

I have been a rehabber and am now venturing down the path of rentals. I have a prospective tenant who credit and background checks ok, but she had a dispute with her previous landlord and withheld rent. Her apartment was burglarized and the police determined it was someone who had keys. The landlord was not cooperative with the investigation so she withheld rent. Would you rent to her or would you pass?

Thanks for your help!
