Tenant with felony charge

I am a brand new landlord trying to rent my house for the first time. I found a very charming family who is eager to move in. They own a business and it appears that money is not the issue, although they did admit some credit issues. I run some checks and found a pending felony charge for 2nd degree theft on the woman of the house. She is scheduled for sentencing Sep 13th. I have strong reasons to believe they would be nice people to have, but now I am confused with this pending class C felony charge. Should I pass? Or, perhaps, should I rent it to them?

If they have both bad credit and pending criminal charges, I say pass. There are plenty of "nice" people in the world who have good credit and aren't criminals.

Yeah, I passed... Now they are disgruntled, accusatory and want their application fee back. I'll give it back to them. I am so lucky to have checked as many sources as I did. Having those people would be a nightmare. They quickly confirmed for me that declining their application was the right thing to do. Important lesson to learn: never judge people based on how they look and how nice they are. The appearances don't determine the character. Thanks Brian D!
