To rent or not to rent?

[Simon D.]

Hi All,

I have a prospective tenant looking to rent my sf house. Tenant is a single mother with 2 teenage kids and a boyfriend. Mother makes around 20k/year with an additional 2k/month from a part time job. The boyfriend makes around 70k/year. Boyfriend says he has his own home but will help with rent. Outstanding auto loans from both parties. Both their credit hovers around the low - mid 600's.

Rental = $3200/month

Any tips/advice for setting up the lease so that I can ensure the boyfriend will be liable for the rent? 

Suggestions on whether or not you would rent to this tenant?

Pass. The Mother and kids do not qualify. The boy friend can not be relied on or held responsible.
