International Tenant Screening - Advice Needed

Bian Dahab
Posted

Hi, 

We have an Airbnb guest who wants to stay medium-term. The guest has been quiet, polite, and respectful and we are happy to host the guest longer. 

However, the guest does not have a social security number and is looking for a job after entering the country through the green card lottery. I would have no information on the person other than the passport, the deposit, the cash payment, and the lease.  

Speaking as an immigrant myself, immigrants do not want any eviction record on their credit as they are trying to establish a life here, but I am not sure how to facilitate an eviction process for an international tenant with limited information on hand. 

I would appreciate any advice from a host who has hosted international tenants!

    You can legally evict them. As long as they are in this country, they are subject to our laws.
