楼主 (文学城)

Sorry won't be able to type in Chinese:

I have a townhouse for rental. Here is a potential tenant: in his fifties, has vision disability, not really affecting daily life, but has social security income. His cousin is a bankruptcy attorney, good income and has POA for the cousin who has a disability. The cousin is going to rent my townhouse (he has bankruptcy experience, according to his narration, it was due to his medical bill), but the attorney will sign the lease and make payment. Any suggestions?

好多无关的信息:精简一下

1)租户一个人还是一家?房租多少?

2)low income with bad credit , possibley with medical bill, which is exemptable

3) co-signer is a lawyer

要是有好的选择,不租。没有啥其他选择,勉强同意可以租。但是一定自己检查CREDIT, ETC.

Thank you for your response and here is the response:

1)租户一个人还是一家?One person with a disability

2)low income with bad credit , possibley with medical bill, which is exemptable (Correct, this individual has bankcruptcy experience due to medical bill)

3) co-signer is a lawyer (yes, co-signer is a lawyer, credit 710, good income).

我觉得问题不大,如果收入够,这样的人不会找麻烦。

有一点糊涂的是,到底是Tenant 破产过,还是他的律师cousin破产过?

但是,有vision disability对房子有什么要求?可能应该写个免责条款。

Tenant has bankcrutcy experience due to medical bills.

The co-signer is a lawyer, who doesn't has bankcrutcy experience, but the cousin is a bankcrutcy attonery. I asked why his cousin want to move to rent our property, he said his cousin has stayed in current property for six years, he asked the current landlord to the deck, which there is hole and he fell, but the landlord refused. Not sure whether that's a reliable reason.

The attorney

The attorney is 78 years old, not sure whether that's useful info. or not.

Liability is an issue

是的,他眼睛不好,出了事情如果告你的话,会是麻烦。

whose credit should I check?

Should I check both the attorney's and the cousin who has disability's credit, or just the attorney's since he is going to sign the lease.

啊。。。那么租客收入多少?

万一律师不在了。。。他自己付不出房租。。。。

cousin and the disabled both have to sign.

treat cousin and the disabled as roommates (or married couple, boyfriend/girlfriend, whatever), both has to sign, both have to pass background check. 

simple as that.
