Should I rent out my room to this person...

[Account Closed]

She is 24 years old. Moving out of her parents house for the first time. She just toured my house with her dad. Shes from peru but moved here a decade ago. I live in utah and I feel like shes super super mormon.   Not only is she moving out of her parents house for the first time but she also has never had a job before. I think she may have some form of disability due to how her speech was. This will be a month to month lease and shell have a deposit matching the first months rent. Would you guys rent it to her due to never having a job before and possibly no credit either. Thoughts?

No credit score is not equal a bad credit score.   Are you writing a M2M lease yourself?  Does her income cover the rent?  Typically we ask for income 3x the rent, and credit scores above 620... but if you can’t confirm income, then perhaps you can ask for a guarantor (dad)?   Lots of options, but keep it legal and print out your qualification standards, and that way you can apply them equally to any/all that apply and provide them in court if you’re ever sued.
