Tenant Screening - State Tax Lien

[Rich C.]

I have students applying to live in an apartment and their parents pay.  One parent is paying the bills and has a good income from a business and investment dividends/annuities, but their credit shows a state tax lien with a low 600s credit. Prior landlord said they've always paid on time. 

Would you rent to a group where one of the cosigners has a state tax lien on their record?
