Should I take this guy?

[Dave Mustaine]

I've been trying to get a roommate to move into my house for over a month with no luck.   A guy called me today and wants to pay up front for four months plus the security deposit.   He said I could let the check clear before he moves in.  His company has a work job here but he lives in the next state over.   He says he is a roofing contract manager.   I asked him if he had any bk, forclosures, or judgments.  He said he had a bk two years ago from a bad divorce.   

He has not paid for the credit or criminal reports yet, but he said no criminal record.  Would you say no because of a bk  two years ago?    I'm sure a lot of bad people have bks.  Most likely not a high quality tenant.  I don't know anything about bk, just know it's bad. However, the money would not be an issue with all the payment up front.  What do you think?  Thanks.
