Interesting tenant application
Hello, Gurus!
I got an interesting tenant application now
She is from Puerto Rico, moved here about 3 months ago (to texas and has been staying with her friends for now).
Her husband was killed in Iraq, so she is getting a social security for two kids - $1426 a month , they are 9 and 13 years old. she will be getting Social Security till they are 18 years old.
She is renting out her house in Puerto Rico for $1,000 where she lived from March 2005 till Oct 2014.
Most of her documents are in Spanish, of course... which I dont speak lol
So her steady income is $1426*2 and $1000, plus she started a new job at ADT in January 2015, $2000 a month plus commissions. so its a brand new job. Before that she worked as a realtor in PR.
My rent is $1375 , so technically she can afford it... even without actual job (Social Security and her rental income is $3852)
What are your thoughts on that? she is willing to pay the double deposit if needed or prepay 2 months rent
thank you!!
