Would You Rent to This Person
Hey All, would love to get opinions from seasoned landlords on this. I have an applicant for an apartment who looks great in every other way except for one thing...she doesn't have a history of fulltime employment.
She is young and just out of college. She has worked as a waitress for the past 4 years for several days a month while going to college. She has a new fulltime job lined up which I have verified is a permanent position where she will be making more than 4x the rent. She starts in June.
Would you rent to someone without a record of fulltime employment, but who has a fulltime permanent job lined up? This person has received good references from previous landlords, has good credit, never evicted, wants to stay long term, and looks very good overall. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks
