Would you rent to someone with a past eviction?

Ive got a prospective tenant with an old past eviction. My original rule was no evictions but I know people change. Just 5 years ago I wouldn't have considered myself rentable. And she is willing to have a cosigner on the lease.

I would never rent to someone with a past eviction. I would rather rent to someone with bad credit if it is a C area than someone with a past eviction. No matter what there excuse is I would not even entertain it.
