  • Unless it's someone you know personally (and know they're reliable), absolutely not. You should not rent to anyone without having run a credit check first. Once a renter moves in it is nearly impossible to get them out against their will, even if the law is in your favor. The complex was purchased as a business venture -- rental income is an important component of that venture's success.
  • No. checking a person credit history, will either give you a red flag or green light for their renting. credit ratings have much been the barometer of a persons total character and their credit worthiness. Too many people are being evicted for either non-payment or running out on unpaid rental. No social security number is a major red flag of problems. No SS, no rental. start your position off right and set strict guidelines for your apartment rentals. You will be glad you did. A record check will also eliminate drug addicts and drug dealers.

  • I agree with everyone else. Plus, why are they only giving you their employer as a reference? Don't they have a current or previous landlord? That's a redflag as well. They probably don't want you calling their other landlords and finding out ahead of time that they are trash.
  • No no no sweet God no absolutely not.
  • NO, NO, NO! If you want to see MY rental contract (I'm a landlord) let me know...I design my own and it is rock solid to be fair and PROTECT ME. Shoot me an email and I'll send it to you.
