Should I approve these potential tenants?
Hi everyone,
I am in the process of leasing out my home for the second time and this time I don't want to miss a thorough screening. I am just having some problems deciding to accept or reject their application. I have run a screening through mysmartmove and it shows a chapter 7 bk in 2008. They have revolving debt of $26k and it shows they have paid on time approximately $560 per month. His income on the application is $4500 per month but the lady at human resource is not willing to verify his wages. The rent will be $1050 per month and I want to make sure they can afford it of course. How do you go around verifying wages with an uncooperative human resource person with a bad attitude. They have 2 years good rental history. Should I run a screening on his wife as well? I guess I should have done this from the get go. thanks for any help
