No credit history, no eviction or criminal history

[Ed McIver]

I have a prospective tenant who has no credit history, no evictions, and no criminal history.  I asked to verify employment and he claims to get direct deposit and no pay stub. He seems the perfect ghost. He filled out the mysmartmove application.

He is current living with a friend after a divorce. 

What do you think?

Even if he is getting Direct Deposit as Matt mentioned above all employers will provide a paystub or atleast a verification of employment letter.  Ask for last years W2 otherwise.  Additionally, if he has no credit history getting the utilities in his name could also be an issue as most of the companies will require a deposit.
