Add Fiance to Existing Lease - Has Criminal Record

[Brent Freeman]

We have a current tenant of three years with good payment history. They are getting married and want to add their fiancé to the lease. We had them complete an application and the criminal background check revealed multiple convictions, including three DWI's, two possession of marijuana, two theft of under $500, and a few unauthorized vehicle operations. The latest charge was 2014. If this were a new tenant application, we'd pass, but since it's an add on to an existing tenant, and the current tenant has been good, we're considering. Recommendations?
