The tenant claims he's under financial stress due to being out of work after an injury and is struggling to get the funds together for the funeral services.

Company needs to have been in business under the same name for at least 10 years and contact previous customers as well or visit current jobs that they are working on. 

You would need to confirm he is not on the sexual offender registry because that would be a for sure no, and then consider whether you would rent to him if this was on the market for a week.
