Divorce and Tenant Credit

[Anthony Angotti]

Hey Everyone,

How do you deal with applicants that have good indicators in everywhere but the credit score because of an ongoing divorce. My gut says....your criteria is your criteria, but the applicant has the appearance of a good tenant otherwise. Makes 6X rent, no criminal background, no eviction/landlord problems, good references. 

I'm tempted to just require 3 months rent up front and accept the applicant. He was open to that. 

Thoughts/experience with this situation?
