Thanks guys. Potential renter is desperate to move in, but I won't allow them without a background check.
Single mother with 23 yr old and teenage sons. Lady short sale'd her house and has to be out this weekend. She wanted a 6 mo contract but I said no. I don't have time to mess with short time renters. So she agreed to 12 months. She let out that she had to short sale because she couldn't afford $1020/mo mortgage. I'm charging $950 and she was asking for $900.
Part of me thinks she'll give me sad stories about late rent etc... But if the background check on her and her sons (I told them I would need BG checks on all, since they could be problems and mom can't do anything about) come back ok I'll probably rent to them.
Bad thing is I'm on a flight at 9:40 am tomorrow and won't be back for a week. So they'll have to sign the lease pending BG check which I run tomorrow night or Tuesday.
With their short time line to move in, and my request for a BG check (which they didn't have a problem with) I can't see to many issue expect for maybe late rent.
I was looking at this site:
