Thank you all for your responses. @John Warren she offered me to give cashier’s check or check and I asked for check. This is my first experience and I didn’t know that I should ask for cashier’s check. Does that mean she is being dishonest as she offered cashier’s check too?

@Theresa Harris Is there any risk to accept year’s worth of rent upfront? I thought that her credit is not good so if she paid me first I don’t have to worry about rent.

Hi, I would like some advice from experienced folks. I am searching tenant for my home and one of the propective tenant have bad credit. She told me that her credit is not good because she was working in cash few years ago and she is try to make her credit score good( I don’t believe her story). And she will pay a year’s rent upfront. She showed me her bank statements . Her background looks okay too.

So few days ,ago she gave me personal check for security deposit and it bounced. I texted her and she told me that on her side, it shows that it was paid. I don’t believe her. How can bounced check shows that it has been paid on her side?

Lease hasn’t been signed yet.

My question: Is this red flag that her very first check is bounced ?

And is it okay to let her stay in my home for one year after she paid me whole years rent upfront? I will take cashiers check for that.

Thanks for all your help!
