Tennant screening - tax issues

[Mark Nielsen]

I'm in the process of screening prospective tennants for a new SFH. I have an applicant that came back clean on background and credit check, but when I look at state court records there are many civil cases against them for non-payments and tax issues. I understand the reason they are renting is because they have issues on their record (which they were up front about), but would this be a red flag for you as a landlord?

@Mark Nielsen Yes it would bother me. If he is slow or no paying them why would he treat me any different?
