Thank you Joe P.  I'm going to call and verify with past landlords, and yes, I will, should I accept them, write extra protections into the lease.  Good advice, thank you.

Thank you all for the input.  

Alan,  I asked, and he says it's small batch, for personal consumption.

Geordy, if everything else was perfect, I guess I'd be less concerned, but he's 36 and "retired."  I've done extensive screening, and there are other red flags at least to me.  He has money in the bank, but no job, for 2 years, and his previous job, from the pay stubs, paid less in a year than he has in the bank.  Maybe he inherited money, but why not just say so?  He claims verbally he was an accountant, but there is nothing in his job history on the app that confirms this.  Wow...when I write this down, it sounds bad....But, and it's the big "but"  the co-applicant has a great job, and checks out fine, she will be paying the rent...and they qualify without his contribution, just by her income alone.  Of course, they both are quite pleasant and polite, clean looking etc.  Yet....???

Has anyone rented to someone who home brews beer?  Did it make the place smell or create a nuisance?  My applicant asked me about having water in the garage...I asked "why would you need that?"  And he said, "because I home brew beer"  I'm not familiar with this at all, my fear is that he's lying, and he's either growing pot or cooking meth....but if he's telling the truth.....I heard it can be smelly and messy....so...has anyone had experience with this?  BTW:  I'm in Colorado, if it matters.
