Renting to a tenant with felony drug charge

Rick Dreyer
Posted

I am renting an executive property and am looking to place a tenant for the lease start date of April 1. A potential tenant fits most of our criteria. It would be him, his wife, and two children (high school and college aged). They make more than enough income, have supplied me with two years of rental information along with references I plan to call. However, in 2018 they were charged with a DUI, and in a separate month, charged with possession of a controlled substance while armed with a loaded firearm.

What experience do you have with tenants like this? Are they still worth considering, or in your experience would you move on?
