Newleaf, I hope this works out for you. As Chatty said, we ALL need extra help now and then.

As far as him paying his rent on time, he's been there a month, right? And made ONE payment? But he DID make a month and a half, so that's encouraging, don't you think?

You had the other guy there at the end of July, first of August, so I'm assuming this one hasn't been there but a month, or less.

So...let's all cross our fingers that the payments continue on time! It sounds like this one might be better than the first one. Time will tell, won't it? I mean the first one seemed okay until he showed his "prev" side, as you put it. You might want to consider getting a background check, just to be on the safe side.
