Blue collar is fine with me - drugs, gang wars, etc. are not.

I can deal with minor drug issues with my tenants but I dont want to deal with people that have no problem killing each other.

They said there has been no reports of drugs or drug activity there.The area in general is low-income, very poor, etc.

Smoking is a hard habit to kick.Even if she kicks the habit she might replace it with a healthy habit exercise,church,etc. or another negative habit alcohol,drugs,etc.You just can't quit you have to replace the void with something.Since her income is great I would take a much larger deposit to cover the risk.Just like pets,other tenants moving in people will not always tell you the truth.It's human nature for many tenants not to be 100% honest.
