Question About Tenant Screening

[Adrian Zamora]

Hello BP,

I'm in the process of renting the other side of my duplex, and just got through an eviction so I'm more cautious during my screening process. I have a potential tenant that filled out an application and everything seems ok except for the rental references; he claims that he has never lived on his own. He has been living with his mom for the past few years, so I have no previous landlord to call. What do you guys suggest here? Is it to risky?

Thanks,

Adrian
