Tenants that have filed for Bankruptcy?? Do you rent to them?

[Cassidy Burns]

Hi BP,

Quick question: 

Would you rent to a tenant that meets all other criteria for your rental but has filed bankruptcy in the last 5 years??

Thanks.

I would accept their application and screen them. If they have good history for the last 3+ years, I would probably accept them. If they were a real mess, it would show up in the past three years.
