I was rather surprised to receive a call from our pm today saying that he has received an application from a celebrity who wants to rent one of our IP's which is currently on the rental market.
The celebrity concerned is currently between jobs, which is probably not an unusual position for one involved in the world of entertainment to be in from time to time. The partner of the celebrity is working, earning a modest wage. They have given details of amounts of cash held in their bank accounts which would be more than adequate to cover the rent for the term of the lease as well as their living costs plus some.
Ordinarily, I would discount an application such as this. The people concerned do not have a rental history, however, they recently sold a house. Our pm, who I regard as being very experienced and good at his job thinks we should accept the application and run with it.
It will be interesting to see what transpires.
Wondering if others have encountered similar situations? Based on the information above, would you rent to these people, or just wait for a more standard application to come by?
Looking forward to reading your thoughts....
