4 roommates, aged 18,18,17,17 - how should they be handled?

[William Brock]

Hi and thanks for any answers/advice in advance.

So this is my first rental property and my previous home (bought a new home and keeping the previous as a rental), a 2,800 sq ft 4 bd 2.5 bath home and the first tenant screen out of the gates is, from what I've read and understand, looking pretty bad already. This question is not focusing on the negatives of renting to roommates, but the ages of the roommates and how they should be handled, specifically the two that are 17 years old and the fact that none of the roommates are related. Again, there's too many red flags for me to move forward with this prospective tenant, but given this situation, how are they to be treated/handled?

Why is this a question? 1st rental and 17 & 18yr olds. How were you at 18?
