Post the economic melt-down we have rented to several tenants who had recent bankruptcies. They had jobs that would cover the rent, no other 'bad' behaviors, ie. history of eviction (HATE that), and since lots of people told them no before they got to us, tended to be appreciative, high quality tenants. Pending bankruptcy is somewhat different but would at least consider based on screening. A large number of bankruptcies are related to medical bills as opposed to profligate behavior.
