RE: Room Mate Background Check
If the current tenant is trustworthy you may allow the roommate. I would definitely talk to the current tenant and let them know the roommate does not qualify to rent, but you will allow it as long as rent is paid on time.

RE: Room Mate Background Check
Okay, thanks for the input! We were considering that maybe the current tenant continues to pay the rent and the roommate pays the tenant their share.

RE: Room Mate Background Check
Consider the following.....good tenant decides to move so called bad tenant wants to stay and refuses to move. I would research or talk to a lawyer what your options would be.

RE: Room Mate Background Check
I always consider what it is on the background check. If they got arrested for marijuana 10 years ago once when they were 18, and that was the end of it, I would not find that unacceptable. Anything recent is not ok with me. The last thing I need is someone living in my property that can't obey the law. Especially if it's any violent crimes/drugs. Not worth the risk to me.

RE: Room Mate Background Check
I have a worthy possible tenant that can afford monthly rent, however, they want a relative to live with them who is 18 years old and has no credit. How do I word the lease agreement so I am renting only to the worthy applicant. If they move the relative must move.
Would they just be an occupant and not on the lease at all?

RE: Room Mate Background Check
You should positively ID and check out every resident without fail. I had a "fiance" who moved in with a lady, and refused to provide info and refused to move out. The SWAT team moved him out one evening after a no-knock raid. He was a convicted felony of a crime of violence.
