Propspective Tenant with prior eviction
Well here is hte story
I had a family of 5 apply for a huge 3 bedroom unit we have available. They seem very nice and responsible from first impression. The wife however, has an eviction from 6 years ago that she did disclose and told me it was just as much the landlords fault as her. I believe it settled in court in her favor. She explained the long drawn out story but anyways im not sure how to treat this. They have solid proveable income, nice people, no smoking/pets but do have this prior eviction on her record from when she was younger. My gut is actually telling me they would be ok but cant get past the eviction. Im not sure if Im worried about her being evicted or if she has the experience of going to court and fighting a landlord. We run a very stand up operation and should not have any problems but dont want to have to end up in court either if she they cause us problems. Thoughts?
