Applicant with expired VISA

Terrence Conley
  • Miami, FL
Posted

Hi all,

I have a question about a potential applicant in South Florida. Actually a couple. One is a US citizen the other is foreigner with an expired VISA. They are engaged. On paper, I believe they look good. The US citizen, alone, makes over 3x the rent, no evictions, no smoking, complete references, great credit. However, with the current immigration climate, I am unsure how to proceed.

As far as I know, unlike California, landlords in Florida are allowed to ask about legal status. But, is it illegal in Florida to knowingly rent to someone with an expired VISA?

Anyone here have any first hand experience with this situation?

Thanks.
