Potential Tenant has an eviction started but was dismissed

[Martin Guerrero]

Hello fellow Landlords, 

I am in the process of screening a potential tenant and it appears they may have had some trouble early 2022 where they might have missed rent payments and it looks like eviction process was started.  Looking at criminal record looks like it was the following 

Action Type: CIVIL DISMISSAL

Filling Type: CIVIL DISMISSAL

I would assume they got current and the proceedings were dismissed.  I understand we all go through hardships at times..I still have yet to ask tenant her side of story and what happened which I am planning on doing.  Have you experienced something similar, what would you do? Too risky? or have compassion? Thank you in advance :)
