Question 4 of 8

4. Question
A few years ago, Jill had a problem with a tenant continually paying rent late. She didn’t do a credit check when selecting the tenant. Could a credit check have helped?
- No, since a low credit score doesn’t necessarily mean they are a risk.
- No, because the tenant would have refused the credit check anyway.
- Possibly, since a pattern of late bill payments may show up in the credit check. If a tenant is not able to provide satisfactory references or employment and income verification you may choose to conduct a credit check.
- Yes, a credit check will definitely show if the tenant has a history of paying their rent late.
