have you checked the credit history? what is the score? if the score is not bad and job is stable and eviction is caused by loss of job, you may try to take them. Did they lie to you about their problems.
The credit score is low (in the range of 500-550). They did not mention the eviction history on the application form, and it shows up in the eviction history report. Hard to tell if the job is stable or not. Goverment contract job -- I guess it's kind of stable.
