Leasing a property to a couple who are displaced-Insurance claim

[Kali V.]

I have a couple who are interested in renting my property for short term. They are really nice and awesome.

They are currently displaced because there is a tree fall in their house and insurance is currently working with them get it fixed. THD (Temporary Housing Directory, Inc) reached out to me working as a coordinator on behalf of them. I have never dealt with this kind of situation and wondering if any of you have any suggestions. I have other rental properties, and usually rents with standard application process, background/credit checks and if they check out with 3x Gross salary, and good scores, then I usually rent it out. 

Let me know what do you guys usually follow or , what to ask for ? Does the standard application process and smartmove check work or, should we deal with THD or insurance company ?

Thanks

I'd rent it to them per a normal application process. Have them pay you rent, not the insurance company. Have them on the lease, not the insurance company, etc. I'd raise rent rates for a short term lease to help cover vacancy costs.
