Tenant Screening - Would you consider these tenants?

[Brandon C.]

Wanted to throw this out to see what you thought. Obviously, one red flag, but if everything else checks out, it seems like it might be ok. Would you consider these tenants?

Rent is $1200, and I’m required 3x that for salary, so they check out there.

• Two guys that have known each other and lived off and on together for 7 years.

• They both worked for same company in Colorado.

• Both have no problems with providing paystubs & references from recent landlords

• Guy #1:

• Credit score around 630

• Store Manager – Been with company for 3 years. Lived in Colorado but received a promotion and moved to Nashville.

• Salary is $54,000 with bonuses. On pace for $100k this year

• An eviction from 4 years ago in Colorado.

• §Story is – he’s fighting this. He was on a month to month lease at the time he left, he gave 30 days advance notice that he was leaving, was paid in full and completely up to date, and never should have been evicted in the first place. But, the fact is that it’s on his record.

• Guy #2

• Moved to Orlando to be with girlfriend about a year ago. Left the company he worked for in CO. Will resign from current company and go back to the same one he was with in CO – except at Nashville offices.

• Credit score is around 600

• Salary is currently $30k, but will be making $50k when he moves to Nashville and begins working with same company as Guy #1
