I would do the following, at a minimum:-request that he complete your rental application (hopefully you have a thorough application),-request identification documents (government-issued),-require that he provide you with proof of his visa status and the authorized length of stay,-verify his employment, income, and financial stability, and-contact his previous landlords for references.If he cannot satisfy these application requirements, do not approve.

Make sure there is adequate parking for multiple units and verify local zoning rules.

We verified with the police that the unwanted guest was indeed still living in the rental with the main tenant, and that the unwanted guest had had a case of an overdose just a month ago in the rental.

What documents do they require, what credit scores do they allow, how do they verify previous rental history, etc.?

If not, its iffy, have seen it go both ways, but the long time that it has been verifiable (1972) speakes strongly in your favor.

This is what I would tell them.If the offending tenant was warned by police or cited by them as verified by a police report then I talk to them about it and follow up with a written lease violation warning aka notice to correct.

You’d have to verify their claims, as you are - wisely - saying you would.Good luck.

I can also ask if the defendant has called in to verify they will be present for the hearing.In my experience, many tenants will disappear before the court hearing.

Had an income of over 4x rent which I verified.

This would allow us to retain the tax identity of the partnership but also split the purchases between each of the partners.
