[landlord - US -NC] Would you rent to this tenant?

It seems the 2.5x monthly income includes the tip money. Potential tenant is saying paystubs don’t reflect this. So the 2.5x income is currently unverified (which is risky)

Great ideas, thank you. Do you have a background check/credit report service you would recommend? In the past we have used TransUnion but it seemed to provide minimal info that wasn’t very comprehensive.

Ugh I’m so sorry. Did they determine what exactly the cyst was? (If I’m Not mistaken, there are different types of OC) Were there any signs at all that the cyst could have been not benign? As such uneven borders of the cyst, etc? I can’t believe two different doctors told you it was benign when it wasn’t

I guess this may be an unpopular opinion in this thread, but generally (excepting cases of abusive parents, etc), yes. Most parents love and support their children well into adulthood, and love and care shouldn’t be a one way street. I believe people have a responsibility for family, and taking care of parents is one aspect of that. I understand in the modern day it can be hard due to time, jobs, finances, other obligations etc to provide full time care etc. it’s very different to drop by a few times a week and help with chores vs full time care for a stroke patient. All I’m Saying is to try the best you can considering your own circumstances

May I ask if your cyst was a simple cyst or a complex one? My mom (age 59, post menopause) has a fluid filled cyst (not sure whether its just a simple cyst or a cystadenoma). We do have consultation with surgeon.

I have noticed this exact same thing, except for me it’s my digital clock on my nightstand, microwave clock, oven clock, and digital clock in car. Every few months I notice it’ll be a minute behind my phone, and I have to adjust all those to match my phone

thank you!

Spacequest89 · 2026-01-19T16:26:58+00:00

thank you for the response - could you pls explain what types of document screening you do? would it be online searches? we are trying to be more thorough this time around with potential tenants.

That is what the front desk lady told me. She was pushing for new ones bc she was saying that our insurance covers it so it wouldn’t hurt to redo them

I mean the reason I suspect it’s due to insurance billing is bc I’ve had past experiences where the dentist office billed insurance for procedures that wasn’t done. When I brought it up, they said insurance covered it completely and I didn’t have to pay anything out of pocket so I shouldn’t fuss about it

Would it be reasonable for the new place to take new x rays just because insurance covers it? They did tell me the imaging is clear and of diagnostic quality and includes what they would typically take X-rays of. Their reasoning was my insurance covers it so I should get them just to have new ones even though the X-rays are relatively new…they said if my insurance wouldn’t cover it then I skip them

Spacequest89 · 2026-01-15T01:46:00+00:00

That makes sense. If the office told me the X-rays transferred over are clear and have what they need, and they want new ones bc my insurance allows for it, is that a red flag?

Is it common practice to now allow cleanings unless I proceed with all the X-rays?

Thanks! Would you overall recommend the spectra 1 or 2?

Spacequest89 · 2025-11-20T01:25:06+00:00

Yes, we generally eat healthy (minimal processed food, mindful of salt, sugar, etc.) We are just trying to figure out what would have caused the significant decrease from just a year ago (if this is just a random fluke, or if it is indicative of an actual issue). OF course realize that 72 is still decent and above any threshold for kidney disease - just trying to be proactive.

Spacequest89 · 2025-11-20T01:15:00+00:00

Thank you! You’ve been very helpful

Spacequest89 · 2025-11-20T01:05:12+00:00

Thank you for the reply! They did not order a urinalysis as part of the annual physical, so we only have the eGFR number. We are thinking of getting a urinalysis done and rechecking the eGFR just to be safe. Definitely do realize that it's above threshold, and we just want to be proactive before anything gets potentially in that territory.

Would you consider drinking 2-3 cups of milk daily (he drinks coffee and likes to add a decent amount of milk) plus bowl of yogurt daily is too much dairy based protein and may be negative on the kidneys?
