Potential tenant has bad credit and a DWI

I recently met a potential tenant that I fell in love with. Very sweet personality and she was excited about the uniqueness of the property. 

I checked her credit score and it was not great (595), has a history of some late credit card bills, and has a DWI. She said she's been living with her parents so I wonder if she just had a rough spot and moved past it. She also has $30k in student loans.

Is it a terrible idea to let her rent, even if I have a cosigner? Or should I move on to the next one?
