Would you rent to someone with a fully paid eviction on their credit?

Hey BP landlords and property managers, 

So I'm looking to rent out one of my SFH properties and came across a scenario I have not experienced before. The applicants (husband, wife, 2 kids, no pets) make 4x monthly income compared to the monthly rent, got a good report from the current landlord (they have paid on time for the past 22 months they have been renting the current property). They have subpar credit (604/544) and 1 eviction that shows fully paid off on the credit report (from a previous rental not their current).

They are looking to move asap because mold was detected in their current rental and the current landlord is releasing them from their lease early.

I have never come across tenants who made good after being evicted so I need advise on whether y'all would rent to this family? If so why, if not why not? 

I look forward to learning from your experiences and making an informed decision.
