Prospective tenant with no rental history

Anne H.
Posted

Hello,

I am looking at prospective tenants for my first rental property. One in particular is looking to move in with her mom and dad. 

All 3 have zero rental history. Mom and dad apparently were given grandpas house and then left it to another relative when they moved out of state and in with their daughter. Daughter is saying she lived with husband in a rental but was not on the lease, then when they bought in 2018 she was not on the mortgage due to something about her military service time not being quite long enough. She is now getting a divorce and needs a place. 

Is this shouting red flags all over it? She has been up front that her credit score is 580 due to paying off all her husbands debt and now is working on hers. 

As I am writing this I think I know the right answer but thought I would throw the question on here since I am a softy....
