Choice between two tenants. Help!

Eric Gar

I am torn between the two potential tenants listed below. I would love some feedback:

Tenant 1- One adult male (30ish) with sister of his ex wife and a cousin and a dog. Credit is 638 with clean record. Seems to have some personal stuff (divorce etc) going on right now. Make 33k per year.

Tenant 2- Two grils in their 20's and two dogs. Little or no credit but clean record. Makes 40k and 33k per year each.

Both sets have good references and steady jobs. It's really a choice between established but a little sketchy and unestablished and not sketchy.

(House is a 3 bed two bath at $850/mo with $250 pet deposit and $850 deposit.)

Please help.

Thanks,

Eric

#2.

Man with sister of X-wife sounds like the beginning of a 48 hours episode.

The 2 dogs probably wont get arrested.
