For all you know the husband could be a registered sex offended and that's why he's not on the lease and the rent is paid by someone else There would have to be something substantial for me to not renew them, but I want to know who I'm dealing with now and not after the fact when its too late.

If I have  vehicle but can turn in from the middle of an open loan that is very different than having to go all the way down to  a red light, do a u-turn if allowed, and drive up to get into your center.

The reason why is that in some states, there are limits on how much deposit you can legally charge before it is perceived as a downpayment for a land contract or contract for deed.If they have a good job (and I am assuming you got 3 months of paystubs and called their employer to prove employment) and a $7500 deposit, and no criminal record (theft or fraud or violent felony or sex offender), then by all means accept them as tenants.

Check for register sex offenders, maybe one just bought next door.

The federal government and state of Colorado have numerous rules and laws to protect tenants and home buyers from being discriminated against.Here's a description of the Fair Housing Act from HUD's website: "...as amended, prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of dwellings, and in other housing-related transactions, based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status (including children under the age of 18 living with parents or legal custodians, pregnant women, and people securing custody of children under the age of 18), and disability."

This includes sex offenders, violent felons, active bankruptcies, etc.

He said "sex offender, 16 years ago when I was 18 years old".  

used a service to acquire tenants and they ended up putting a sex offender in the home.
