Hi Everyone,
Hi Everyone,
A non-married couple is applying to rent a 1-bedroom apartment. She is working he is not. For those who pull potential tenants’ credit reports, would you pull both credit reports or just hers and put just her as the one responsible for rent payments?
Same question regarding filling the rental application itself – would you require both to fill that or just the lady who is currently working?
THANKS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Thank You Everyone! Your Great Advice is so helpful! Regards, Neil.

Everyone who is going to be living in the apartment and is over the age of 18 backround is checked, this includes; CORI check, credit check and previous landlord references regardless of who is going to be “responsible” for paying the rent.
Hope this helps. Happy New Year!

You want them both. You need to make sure they are both who they say they are, neither ever evicted, neither real scum in the habit of screwing people.
