Applicant breaking current lease

[Jesse O.]

i have a potential applicant that told me during the initial phone call, when asked about rental history, that she is breaking her current lease because her current landlord won't do  adequate repairs after a waterline busted in the house.  She said that there is mold and the landlord won't fix the drywall that has been damaged.  

My gut says to move on, but just wondering what everyone else's thoughts are and how one would mitigate any issues down the road.  

Thanks

I would say that I need to verify tenancy with the current landlord, and see how they react.
