However, in Texas a child less than 1 yr old does not count.  

That won't stop them from potentially levying a $100K lawsuit on you, if their child breaks an arm or leg on it.I was under contract for a property that already had tenants and a trampoline in the open front yard. 

I do not feel comfortable renting to someone who seems to be violent and volatile and who may have a drinking problem- one of the incidents involved him trying to run his girlfriend (and mother of his child )off the road with his vehicle while she was driving her own vehicle. 

I personally know someone that lost a child and was prescribed an ESA...and that prescription is still valid - and used - seven years later.

Suddenly my second child's severe hearing issues didn't warrant ear tubes.  

Worst one was a threesome. ie, a guy and his girlfriend + child and another guy who was long time buddies with both of them and a couple dogs.

I guess that is where I'm really undecided. 

If you use the word kid, child or children in an advertisement or when speaking with someone interested in renting, it's almost always a Fair Housing violation since age is a protected class. 

Shows credit, ok, shows judgments, payment history and says NO convictions.For kicks and giggles, I googled him a few minutes ago and BAM, he was charged  with sexual misconduct with a minor child in March 2018.  

Or is it a medical debt from a few years ago when their child got sick with cancer that they just haven't been able to keep up with and therefore has dragged down their credit?
