Renting to a Family With a Special Needs Daughter - Screening

Hello Fellow BPers!We are in the process of filling a vacancy on one of our properties and I have not encountered this situation before. The applicants are a husband and wife that have a daughter with special needs. We require all applicants over he age of 18 that will be living in the residence to have a background check and credit check ran (through Cozy.co) The daughter with special needs is over the age of 18 but morally I do not feel right making her do a background and credit check. Any advice on what to do in the situation would be greatly appreciated. The property is in Texas. Thank you!!

Well it depends on the level of special needs as well. If they are completely dependent on the parents for their needs for life then no I would not. But if they are high functioning and able to function close to normal then yes I would.
