Should I let father pay rent up front for daughter to lease?
Hello. I am trying to rent out a singlewide. A father wants to pay the rent for his daughter - 7 months up front. I am willing to sign a 7 month lease because then the lease will be up in summer when it is typically easier to find tenants. The daughter doesn't have a job now, but he says she can get one when she moves in to town. Should I do this? If so, should I run tenant screening on both father and daughter? Do I put both names on the lease? Thank you in advance for any advice you give.
