Decent tenant now unemployed, renew lease?
Hello all, I have a tenant who overall has been a decent tenant (paid rent on time, let us know if maintenance issues etc) however her lease is coming up next month and she admitted to being unemployed for the past few months. During that time of unemployment, she has paid on time with her unemployment checks coming in. I've learned some hard lessons with tenants, so I'm totally ok with not letting her renew, but also if she's been able to pay rent with unemployment maybe it can work? Anyone have additional thoughts?

I would requalify her - meaning have her provide you with unemployment amounts, how long she is able to collect and also how much $ she has in bank just like I would do for a new tenant
