This morning I had a female contact me about my rental property and wanted to see it asap and asked if I could show it today so I said sure.  She came by with her grandmother (real nice lady) and took a quick look at it, asked a couple of questions and was very interested in renting it.  She said they reason she needs it asap is due to she was living with her boyfriend and they are no longer together so needs her own place.  She told me that when I do her background check and rental history that it might show a time that she signed a 6 month lease and left 1 month early not really knowing due to not understanding the lease she signed.  Apparently she thought it was time to move when it actually wasn't.  Based on those two things should I still have her go through with the background checks?  Main thing that worries me as that she just got out of a relationship and no telling if they will get back together or if he decides to try and move in with her without me knowing.  She did state that she was not on his lease.
