two law students checked out OK on the credit and background checks – I was ready to rent to them and we met at the unit to sign the rental agreement and exchange keys / checks / etc
when they saw the rental agreement they made up some BS story and left
the only thing I can figure out is that they saw they would be renting from my LLC and not me as an individual – they were probably planning a trip-and-fall accident / lawsuit and knew they couldn’t easily play that game with an LLC
