Should We Rent to Them? There is One Misdemeanor 3 Years Ago
Two young men interested in renting our two bedroom apartment. Everything about them is fine: education and job. They lived with each other before as roommates. Now one of them told us that he has a misdemeanor in 2013 for drug possession. The other person is clean. We have not done the background check and don't know what will it report, but he said that he was in a car with three other friends in North Dakota (very conservative state, according to him) and all got caught because they had marijuana pipes. If this is the whole story, I don't think it's that bad, and I am tempted to rent to them, but I don't know what else. And I don't know if there is any in dept background check that we can do.
