Would you rent to a parolee?

[Edward Shin]

BP Nation, I need your thoughts and advice: My business partner and I have a property that has been sitting vacant over the last few months. As you can imagine, we're looking to get it rented ASAP, and there's a couple that's interested. The catch? Our PM mentioned that the guy has an drug offense from a few years back. He's been clean since and is on parole. Our PM would still put him through the credit, income, and background checks and speak to his parole officer, but wanted to know if we would even entertain someone with that type of record. Your thoughts, BP Nation?
