Child support money as rent
I am renting out a 3 bedroom apartment. I am asking $1,150 for it. I’ve requested that prospects have to make 2.5X that amount in order to be qualified. A lady (with 4 kids) is interested in the apartment. Her income is only $2000 per month plus she gets $1000 in child support. My question is: is it ok to use child support money as income or not because if she makes $2000 in income, she doesn’t make $3000 to meet my requirements? Any suggestions will be appreciated??
