Thoughts on undocumented tenant?

[Yonna Wu]

Has anyone ever rented your property to an undocumented worker? Their employer is willing to pay for their rent, so is it good to sign the lease with their employer?

I have rented to non residents whose status was, well, probably not legal.  They were good tenants.  

I don't think the status as undocumented is anything to focus on - there are better ways to filter/vet.  They may be good, they may be bad.  Same goes for the employer.
