Potential Tenant Can Only Pay Rent With Alimony. What Do I Do?
I have a new property I'm putting on the market to rent. A prospective candidate has come to my property and likes it. She is a woman going through a divorce and will receive alimony. The alimony will be her source of income for rent (No Job). How do I properly get proof of the alimony she will receive AND how do I protect myself from her either not paying or getting her alimony to pay? While she seems like a nice lady, I don't want to be caught in the middle if her X-Husband decides he doesn't want to pay her. What are the proper steps here to cover myself properly?

Scott Everhart She's still in the divorce. How does she know she will get alimony ? That's like renting to somebody that's going to get a job next week isn't it??
