Tenant bankruptcy impact on landlord

[Carrie Westover]

Assuming a prospective tenant has shining references from previous landlord, over sufficient income for rent, but bad credit (following divorce, etc.) and possibly considering bankruptcy to begin rebuilding credit, what effect might this have on their ability to continue paying rent. 

I don't know what I don't know about bankruptcy. She said she doesn't have any monthly debt payments. 

What does your experience show?

Thanks in advance!
