International Student Tenants

[John E Ceisel]

Hello BP!

I have an international language school near one of my properties and am receiving student applicants who are also foreign nationals.  Any recommendations on how to setup the lease (directly with the students?) and property screening?  They are all nice kids, but the majority are getting money from back home and don't have income documentation or a credit history.  Is there a minimum age requirement for a tenant to be able to enter into a legal lease agreement?
