Help: Rent or Not Rent

阅读模式 · 发表于 2010-11-6 16:15:51

I have a house in Lawrencville to rent and I have listed it for one month. It seems it's very hard to find qualified candidate in that area.

So far there are 5 Tenants would like to rent my property:

1. Three of the 5 tenants have Eviction history in last couple of years and low credit score (500-550 range). I rejected them already.

2. The fourth one is section 8, a little hesitate.....still thinking.

3. The last tenant is young (husband 25, wife is 21, 2 years old son, another one is coming...). He can not show me the 2 month paystub. He said he is a sub-contractor and is paid by cash. He said he earned 65K yearly. He is willing to put 2 month security deposit. He took 8K cash with him today and showed me the money during the property viewing today. I am going to check his background tonight, but I don't think the score will be good.

Not sure whom to accept (The section 8 lady or the young coulpe?) or continue next round search for better tenant ( A little tired...)? What criteria do you guys use during tenent screening?

if your house price is less than 60k, pick one from 2 or 3 to test out. otherwise, continue the search.

I rented out to a different family eventually. In my view, the important things to check are 1>No eviction history 2>Stable job.

Most of tenants in that area do not have good credit score. So far so good and they've been paying the rent on time.
