Which applicant would you select?

[Brian Tisler]

Rent is $750+$50 with pet 

#1- married couple, she makes $17k per year, he is unemployed.  However, they tell me they get an additional $30k annually in August and $900 from a lawsuit, but no documentation to support it except screenshots of banl deposits.  No references listed on application and when ask about prorating Nov to start on the 15th, they said they could, but wouldn't have deposit until Dec 1st.  Current landlord said twice paid late.

#2- single person makes $25k annually, same job for r years and can provide first months rent and security deposit at time of signing lease.  However, they are trying to find a sublesselor to take over their current lease.  They live in a duplex and wants more privacy. Current landlord states has laid on time.

How long can I wait for #2 to find a sublease or should I just flat out deny #1 right away?

Any advice would be great
