How long should a prospective tenant be working for current employer?
Hello,
I am in the process of declining a prospective tenant for a few reasons. Mainly, their income does not seem sufficient and they have only been with their employer for 4 months.
This brings me to the question, "how long should a prospective tenant be employed with his/her current employer?"
Thanks,
Chrstn

Depends on the rest of the profile and if their new job is in the same industry as the old one. If the guy is a chef and has worked at several different reastaursnts I don't hold that against him. If they bounce to different industries with employment gaps then I get concerned.
