My biggest concerns are as follows:No evictions in last 5 yearsRental historyWork history / incomeNot breaking a lease to move into my propertyAcceptable reason for movingNo violent crimesNo drug dealing convictionsCredit report verifies info on application (honesty)I don't care about the credit score.
