Another year another opportunity for where one might receive applications from Independent Contractor (gig) workers.

Does ANYONE have a process that they use to manage the risk associated with taking on Gig / Lyft / Uber drivers as tenants ? 

You will be down voted if you say thing about 2 years of tax returns!    

IT is SOOOO RARE it's not a practical criteria. 

In the past I have 'tried' to say Okay you have a "story" around your employment ok. Please show me your bank statements to provide some amount of assurance that they have some number of months cushion so they would continue to be solvent in the case they get sick or in some way can't drive / perform the activity.
