Evaluating International tenant applicants

[Lelith Walker]

I just found out that some nursing homes pays landlords to house nurses from the Phillipines for three years.   How do I evaluate these possible potential tenants.  They are not going to have housing court history, tax returns, bank accounts, etc because it is their first time in the US.  Is there a skip tracing tools that works internationally? 

The nursing home pays per bed.  Do I have to furnish the apartment or is each nurse responsible to buy their own bed or will the nursing home take care of that as well?  Has anyone participated in this type of program?  If so, did you have a problem tenant and how were you able to handle it since it was part of a program?

You can make your lease be between you and the agency. The agency is on the hook for rent and any damages. You will probably need to furnish the rooms.
