Should I rent my house to this couple?
Gentle man works two jobs with income $6000 credit score 520;
lady income $4000 credit 620
No Evicrion history for both
not married, don't know if they are in relationship or father and daughter.
my management turn down their screening because the man's score didn't the minimum 620.
My realtor said it's my call now.
just wondering what you guys think? Much appreciated for any advices.

It's discrimnatory to prefer a traditional family. Don't put that in writing. Nontraditional tenants are the fodder of cocktail party stories. :)
In addition to earlier questions:
How long have they lived at previous addresses? Have they lived in the area long?
Is their income verifiable? Stable?
Are they fussy/high maintenance? Anything interesting on social media?
Which applicant would you consider the primary/strongest applicant?
If the criteria is 620, they don't meet the criteria. If anyone has applied and been denied in this applicant cycle, don't change your criteria. Be very careful about updating standards mid stream, evaluate between application cycles.
