Hi everyone. I'll be renting out my house for the first time, starting next month. The tenants seem terrific and I don't have any reason to be concerned, but they are an unmarried couple and I'm wondering if I should have both of them submit applications, separately, and run separate background checks and credit reports, even if the man's income is more than sufficient and his background check and credit report came up clear and excellent. Should I list them both as "tenants" on the lease agreement, even if I'd be fine just renting to him as a tenant, and he's the one with the qualifying income, but she will clearly be living there with him the whole time? Thanks for your help!

Not sure if I'm too late to this thread to get a reply, but I'm using Cozy for the application as well, and I'm unclear from previous responses if that means I will ever be able to access the SSN for my tenants who have applied through Cozy. If not, can I ask for the SSN on the Lease Agreement? Is there any reason why that would be problematic? I'm in Seattle, WA, if that matters at all. Thanks, everyone! 

Hi! I'll be renting out my place for the first time in a few months and I'm wondering where I can get an excellent Rental Lease Agreement that I can easily customize for my local jurisdiction (or have it customized). It doesn't have to be free, but I'm hoping there's a not too expensive resource out there and alternative to having a real estate attorney do it. Thanks for any tips!
