We expect our contractors to work whatever hours they want as long as they accomplish the goal at or under budget and on or before the time they quoted.

Why would not having a bankruptcy be an issue? You should have a conversation with them to understand what the situation was. As long as they meet your qualifications, we would rent to them.
