If the tenant pays their full rent on time, and being responsible and honest with the landlord, that goes a long way towards the landlord not losing the rental property to foreclosure. If your potential landlord is elderly, don't take the place keep looking for something else. Landlords may not even try to hand on to a property if they have a bad tenant. A good tenant is worth their weight in gold I also would not share my financial situation with a tenant.

If one does not like the risk of losing their home because of lack of payment to a bank or selling of a property, then stick with the bigger companies who PROFESSIONALLY handle this kind of business. Though you will pay more it is less likely you will end up in a cardboard box while looking for a new home. Good points on trying to reduce ones exposure though but like the casino higher odds, higher payout. Keep on shooting Finding a great deal on a house to rent is going to have some drawbacks.

if you want to be secure and know for sure the safety of your home you need to buy one of your own
there is always a chance that your landlord will sell the house out from under you , or that his daughter will need a place and you will have to leave

if you have a good rental history and are a good tenant you will probably have your choice of places
