You are required to if the candidate meets all your other screening criteria. 

Just launched in November have 10 members, meet bi-weekly via a Virtual Call (Zoom), shared FB group and shared google drive docs where we keep each other accountable and provide constructive criticism.

However, there is junk everywhere and she told us she would meet with us to give us the keys a few times and sign move-out paperwork but she has not shown up.

Hey Account Closed, congrats on snagging what could be an extremely powerful meeting and the source of many great connections to come!

I would double check with your accountant on that though as you don't want a nasty surprise down the road (and you know what they say about assumptions).As far as Providence & the East Side, I attended a neighborhood meeting a few weeks ago with some people from the neighborhood and some folks from the Providence Building Department.It does sound like they are leaning in favor of some additional regulations for AirBnBs in Providence, which may involve needing to get a special permit.

Hope to see you at the Manchester meet up and Happy Thanksgiving! 

@Peter Hynes - nice to meet you!
