The new tenants are in. After verifying the information on their application, I decided to require a co-signer. The co-signer was necessary because their employment history with their current employers was short (1-2 months), and total wages were less than ideal. But after passing the criminal background check and talking to the last property manager (real estate agent), it seemed like they would be good tenants.

After the co-signer checked out, we signed the lease.
