Legal...probably not.
Would I...depends. The main problem is that by renting to an unregistered immigrant you are running a risk. If the fuck up the place, fail to pay rent, etc...there isn't much you can do. If they do alot of damage, you will not get one red cent since they will simply be deported. If you are willing to risk it...I would say go ahead. |

I've rented to illegal mexicans before. They always paid on time and in cash. They take good care of your place and pay ontime because they know you can turn them in at anytime. They're worth the risk in my opinion.

Well, if this person wants to gain some advantage by defrauding or otherwise abusing you, how much would they have to lose if they are not legal to begin with? Less than the next (legal) guy. Having lived with this ethnicity as well, I can tell you that the ethnicity is not the issue, and you have already discovered that this person is willing to commit fraud. And since the INS is stepping up enforcement efforts, and you can already be held to a standard of " would a reasonable person know" (you obviously do) you may have more at stake than you are considering.

I've worked as a property manager in the past, and I still help a couple of friends with their rental properties. I agree with what CAPITALIST wrote. All of the illegals I've dealt with understood the value of a dollar, appreciated what they were renting, and paid their rent on time and in cash. From what I've seen, I'd much rather rent to a Mexican of dubious citizenship than a white person. I don't mean that as a racist statement, but that has simply been my experience.z

Get a security deposit, and first and last month's rent, in CASH. Then, call the INS.

Pros: Pay rent on time, too frightened to complain about stuff to you or housing agencies, too unsophisticated to milk the system like professional bad tenants of other ethnicities.
Cons: Tend to have extended families that will stay for extended periods of time, problems with teenage children -- male or female (gangs, drug dealing), not as concerned about keeping the apartment sanitary. The biggest worry for me would be the presence of teenage children. Also, I would sooner rent to an illegal alien who was up front about not having a SSN than one who gave me someone else's for the credit check. |

Stokes your sig is acting up again! Its up to you dude if the place is a no problem to rent then just do what you feel is right. I have to take care of rental property right across from the starky building right next to the owens field in norman,about 800 ft from where mossawie and his pod were living. This is Oklahoma home of engineering. These are kids that can go to school ,come home and play Jimie Hendrex or play stevie ray vaunge but can't light the pilot for the furnace. So i just light that pilot and sing some sweet home alabamma! No but you don't have to rent to anybody you have a bad feeling towards and sometimes the worst renters will turn out to be your best.

Two words - SECURITY DEPOSIT.
I think if it were a family, you're running a lower risk, but it increases the risk that the whole village would end up in the house. I would rent to one, but only if he stipulated in the lease that only he would be living there. (Maybe creating a provision for a girlfriend or something.) Get 3 months rent up front considering eviction procedings can take a while. Other than that, what's the guy's demeanor, his cleanliness? If he's a nice guy and he'll pay, then rent to him! ETHICALLY, as a REAL US citizen is where I find a problem. You're an enabler, but the argument can and would be made that if you didn't rent to him, someone else would. Atleast you have some control over him though, maybe you could add in that he does all landscaping! [;)] |

I help my wife maintain her family's apartment complex of 13 units. We rent to low-income people all of the time. Whether illegal or not. We don't do credit checks, but she does check to be sure that the prospective renter(s) qualify in terms of income, i.e with pay stubs and calling the employer to find out how long this person has been employed etc.
OT: Some friendly advice, another friend also has some apartments and once rented one of his units to some people on Section 8. Biggest mistake he ever made. Every one tiny problem because a federal offense. It took my friend 2 years to get rid of these people. |

Most illegals here in Ok are involved in the drug trade at some level. Ok forfeiture laws also allow for the state to confiscate an owners property if he is renting a room/house to someone and the renter is arrested for a serious drug offense.
WA laws probably differ, but I wouldn't do it... |

A hospital can't ask imigration status. I can't think of any law that would say you are responsible for your renters imigration status. Plus what was stated before, you'll have a hell of a lot harder time getting rid of a pain in the ass legal resident as compared to an illegal one.

Nothing pisses me off more than illegal aliens If this person has enough money to rent an apartment then he probably has enough money to come into this country legally! I dont get some of you guys Suddenly capitalism is the greatist thing and the only thing that matters is that your the one pocketing the cash??? A while back there was the big controversy with dell not selling a comp to the guy who was a gun dealer they then tryed makeing it right (IMO) but people bitched and complained because dell wouldnt take sides on the gun issue there fore this or that person said they wouldnt buy anything from this because they were an oportunist. To me this isnt any differnt the only thing differnt is who gets the cash fact is you may be doing something illegal. people bitch and complain about illegals comeing into this country but how can you blame them when the people here are willing to harbor them they wouldnt be here if they knew damn well that they were unwelcome and if it came up that such a person was found to be illegal would be turned in no questions asked. on top of that thgis guy already commited a crime by giving you someone elses SSN (maby mine who knows)???
and your still considering it? you are an oppotunist and apparently money comes before morals in your book Flame away OregonShooter |

Thank for the comments.They are appreiciated.
This is the a low down of the people that came to look at my home. Quite a few section 8 people.usually a woman of a certain race with 3-6 children and a boyfreind that I know will be moving in also. No thank you Caucasion folks that are two types. #1. Couple that walks in and walks out without asking questions. These are the people looking for mercedes at hyundai prices. #2.Young adult that are roommating together/bad risk Spanish speaking people legal/illegal don't know.Ask a lot of question and are ready to fill out apps and have money. Who would you chose??? My home is in a blue collar neighborhood so the more affulent ones don't show up. BTW I have decided against renting to the questionable applicant. These are my personal experience's and in no way making blanket statement on any particular ethnicity. I thank you again for your advice. |

OregonShooter Not true. I have a fairly wealthy friend that is of Britsh citizenship living in Singapore. He would love to come live here but is unable to. We, here in the U.S.A. are truly blessed. The U.S. INS tries to be sure that all immigrants have the necessary financial means to live in the U.S., but in addition to money, there is also a quota. It used to be about 10 years, from the day you apply to the day you set foot in the U.S. to immigrate legally to the U.S. |

I have not read any reply before responding to your question.
Verify or discount your suspicions. If the renter is illegal? Deny him and inform him you will be calling the authorities. If to your satisfaction, you feel confidant that he is legal, provided you exercised due diligence, take the money and enjoy a profit. My opinion is worth exactly what you paid for it. |

All the rights American want to defend these illegals could care less. They get instant aid by making you feel you can gain with no pain (and they pay in CASH and are CLEAN) what a cop out. Get a conscience and a country. |

I dont think there is a quota anymore though I may be wrong
renting sucks you get people that tear crap up and wont move out. but i guess thats the game you gotta play untill you find a reliable renter. I once lived in a little rentle complex (really like a naborhood in the middle of the country) It was a nice place by the river we were told by the landlord that we were the only ones at the place who payed there rent! he said he felt to bad for them to kick them out unless they were tearing stuff up he said most payed occasionally. but it pays to be a good renter every complaint we had was promply delt with we also got newe carpet and numerous other upgrades without asking. All I have to say is if you can find someone who proves to be reliable and honest let them know you appreciate it by doing things to the place for them. that way you dont have to do this again |
