Renting to 74 year old

[Robert Huang]

Hi I am currently evaluating a prospective tenant for a room in my personal home that is 74. He's able to get here himself, able to follow conversations well. I do like him and he's on pension and SSI income and will well cover the room rent. 

It's going to be a month to month if i sign him up. 

Is there any concerns to renting to an elderly person that I should be aware of? I am not at all against renting to an elderly person, but I am not in a position to take care of him if he can't take care of himself.

I specialise in renting to retirees and seniors. They are generally the best and most reliable tenants as long as they are not on welfare. Go for it.

Make sure you get emergency contact info for a relative.
