an applicant with Vouchers (Section 8) from SAHA

I have an interested applicant who receives SS and is on Section 8 housing assistance via San Antonio Housing Assistance (SAHA). The applicant makes 1900$ monthly and will be responsible for 689$ from the entire rent. 

This still meets the criteria as she is making x3 times the part of the rent that she is in charge of. 

I have not had Voucher tenants before, I am thinking about asking double deposit as they are not making employment and salary criteria. I have heard these tenants are difficult particularly with the house maintenance and timely payments that I why I like to have more of a security deposit, just in case no payment or damage to the house happens. how more fair can it become?   If you have worked with tenants on Vouchers, what should I be cognizant about?
