Tenant Screening Question
Hi BP! It's our very first time screening tenants and have a question. We're running into a lot of applicants where they have older parent(s) that live with them, some who still work, some don't. Our current requirement is that everyone over 18 must meet the minimum requirements (700+ credit score, no evictions, clean criminal background, positive landlord references for past 10 years) but some applicants have been asking about the credit score part for their older parent(s). We're thinking that we should still look at the older parent(s) credit score but not sure if that's too extreme. What would you recommend?
