Prospective tenant checks all boxes but has bad credit

[Brent Rieman]

Looking for advice on a potential tenant.   Ran application through rentredi. No criminal or evictions.  Has been in same rental for 9 years.  Moving b/c landlord is selling duplex and she has always wanted to live in my property. She has emailed me about once a year asking if I have openings.  Im lakefront on lake erie and she lived across road.   Solid income at 4x rent at a good hospital job.  But her credit is bad, 480s bad.  Looks like a bunch of small balance credit cards and such.   She gave me her current landlords info and permission to contact.  If all checks out with him im leaning towards a yes.   Should I reconsider?

How long has she been at the hospital job? I've often thought of stability as or more important that credit score.  If she's been in one place for 9 years plus her job for several years as well those are two big pluses. I'd also ask the previous landlord for reference.
