Hi,  I am renting out my first house and trying to get someone in there in the next few weeks.  I have a couple that are really interested, but the male has a felony (schedule II PITS) female has shopped lifted in past (distant).  He sent me pay stubs and doing quit well.  Should i rent to them, and if I do should I do a 3 month lease initially?

@Kendall T. 

with all due respect, I completely disagree with your post. PWITS is a serious charge. Have you listened in on any court cases with such charges? I have. The defendants are not some guy selling a joint at the state fair or college student sharing a joint at a party.

If you are hinting at leasing to this guy, at least pull the file and read through the testimony.
