Would you rent to a bank robber?

[Erin Church]

So, I've come across something I hadn't contemplated. I have someone that is interested in a vacant unit I have that meets the minimum income, seems to meet the minimum credit score, but robbed a bank 5 years ago, served 4 years, and has been out for almost a year. They disclosed right away. 

When I researched the person, they passed a note that they had a gun and would shoot everyone if they needed to. They actually got out of the bank, but were captured later due to fingerprints. I do not know if there was actually a gun. 

I have one other inherited tenant that has a recent felony and they are a wonderful tenant that I will likely keep for many years.

I have other applicants, but but wanted to see what other folks thought - if nothing else, it's a fun thought exercise. :)

If he threatened people with a gun to get money, I can only imagine what he would do if he gets behind on rent.
