Tax Lien on Credit Report-Do You Still Rent? Owner Finance?

[Tod R.]

I am going to sell my home in Haslet this summer. As a result my long time tenant is starting to look for a new house to lease or owner finance. She's telling me that because of a tax lien as a result of a 2008 divorce, landlords do not want to rent/owner finance. Here credit is in the low 500's but she has a perfect rental history with me for the last 4 years.

I maintain that based on her payment history with me she should be able to find a lease/owner finance deal.

Do you see this as a serious problem?
