Should I take this guy?
I've been trying to get a roommate to move into my house for over a month with no luck. A guy called me today and wants to pay up front for four months plus the security deposit. He said I could let the check clear before he moves in. His company has a work job here but he lives in the next state over. He says he is a roofing contract manager. I asked him if he had any bk, forclosures, or judgments. He said he had a bk two years ago from a bad divorce.
He has not paid for the credit or criminal reports yet, but he said no criminal record. Would you say no because of a bk two years ago? I'm sure a lot of bad people have bks. Most likely not a high quality tenant. I don't know anything about bk, just know it's bad. However, the money would not be an issue with all the payment up front. What do you think? Thanks.
