Should I rent out my house to a corporate housing company?

[Jehan Jaleel]

Hi,

I am trying to rent out my 5 bedroom house in NJ and I was recently approached by a gentleman who says he represents a corporate housing company. He said his company provides accommodations for temporary workers (for example folks from India who work in the tech sector on a guest worker visa and remain in the US for a year or two at most).

Has anyone had any experience renting to these kind of tenants?

One concern I had is how can I run a credit check on a company and what are the possible consequences of having a company (an LLC) instead of an actual person on the lease?

What other pitfalls should I look out? Finally in your opinion does this sound like a viable tenant?

Thanks,

Jehan
