Low credit score a deal breaker?

When screening potential tenants, do you consider low credit scores a dealbreaker? It's obviously a heightened risk, but how much riskier? Do you find that most with low scores tend to be more risk than they're worth? Or are most of them responsible but may have just hit a rough patch in their life?

@Mindy Bowden I focus more on the cause of the low score than the number.
