Help Pls, Prospective tenant says her dad will be paying the rent

[Beth L.]

I have a unit for rent and received a request from an interested person who says that her father will be paying for the rent for the first year since her husband just started a new job and is commission based. They will be paying for their utilities.

Has anyone ever handled a situation like this? Did it turn out well? I assume the father would have to fill out an application, and be on the lease and co-sign with them.

Thoughts? Thanks!
