Tenant Screening Question
Hello,
This is my first post here, usually I just lurk so I can learn, but I am renting my first house, and I have an applicant that I am unsure of.
The applicants job checked out (pay stubs and contacted employer), only criminal record is driving related, and has a rentwise score over 800. What concerns me is the rest of his credit. He apparently is going through a divorce and returned a car, and was sent to collections over non-housing related items. His residency screening has come back clean so he has no evictions or foreclosures etc. He also makes 3 times the rent, even after deductions. Is there anything to be worried about with these delinquent items on his report or am I just being too cautious?
I pay someone to screen tenants, so I haven't had the chance to talk to him yet, which I plan to based on the credit report. Any advice?
Thanks in advance
