Tenant selection candidates

[Kayla Marek]

Our problems tenants are moving out and we are looking for someone to fill the vacancy coming up in September. So far we have two applications.

Candidate #1: 

Maintenance technician just started a new job June 2020. Looking to move closer to this new job. At previous position for 6 years. No criminal or financial concerns. Moving with his girlfriend of one year that happens to be 20 years younger than him with her two year old child from a previous marriage. She is unemployed.

Candidate #2:

Female currently living with her sister after an abrupt move back from out of state. Unable to reach her previous landlord. Works two jobs at different bars as her job she had lined up fell through due to COVID. Has a 15 year old son, single mom. Have not verified credit yet. 

I am a little nervous about the bartending job as things are up in the air with COVID. Things could be shut down again at any point. I am also nervous of candidate #1 as his co-applicant is unemployed. He alone can afford the rent but I am curious what her credit check will show and how we would handle things should they break up. 

Thanks in advance!
