what should i do about a tenant who's previously had a eviction?
So I just recently purchased my first rental property a multi-family duplex and haven't closed on the property quite yet. The current landlord of the property has recently just put in a new tenant who's had a prior eviction back in 2015. The Landlord has given her a 1 year lease that has me extremely worried. The current landlord has told me the new tenant has paid her security deposit in full plus an extra $600. Now I'm not one to normally judge anyone as we've all made mistakes in the past, but seeing how this is my first rental and I plan on living in the other side, I'm kind of torn as to what I should do. Im using a 203k loan to fix up half of the unit which ill be living in somewhat like a live in flip. If anybody could help and give some alternative options as to what I could/should possibly do that would be very much obliged. Thanks again
