Renting to unmarried (dating) couple

[Nicholas Potocki]

I have a house that will be listed for rent soon. There is a unmarried couple that is interested in the property. They have qualifying combined gross income of $7,000, good references and landlord history. They have been dating for a year. How concerned should I be to sign a lease with an unmarried couple?

One other note, the lady’s mom is an attorney. The mom has already sent me a message asking me to help her daughter. I feel like I have a good lease, but I don’t want to get in a legal battle because it’s easy for this lady to ask for her mom’s help. What would you do?
