Hi all,I'm considering a new tenant for a 1 year lease who has some "unpaid bills" and accordingly a poor credit score.I am requesting a significant extra deposit ( almost 2 months ) in additional to standard 1st and Security Deposit.Tenant has a business which he says is doing well and allowing him to recover and get a place of his own ( was with roommates ).I want to check his Business Credit and business landlord.I'm in the OC, CA and need to know how soom I can start eviction if rent is lateand what provisions I need in the lease.Also, do I need an "airtight" lease agreement and who would provide this ?
