Renters from Other countries
I have a family filling the application to rent one of my listings in Houston, TX.
They have green card and are supposed to receive social security number in few days, moving to the US last week.
How could I make sure about their background and their work history? Since they have no credit score and no history here.
I want to make sure that I have a good tenant for the landlord.
They've said that they have 3 companies in Europe and have no problem with more deposits.

I would ask for a triple deposit and 2 months rent up front. Also ask for bank statements proving viability.
Why are they moving to the US? How long do they plan on staying here? Get a copy of their VISAs too.
I would also call my tenant screening company and get some advice from them. They have seen all the pitfalls there could be.
