I know that cell phone and utility bills in collection are a red flag -- what about cable company bills? I have seen several of these lately.

Anytime someone buys or rents something, or uses a service, and then doesn't pay for it, it's called fraud, stealing, theft, robbery, ripoff, etc. They are all red flags. And the more red flags there are, the farther you should stay away from that person. (unless you want to be the NEXT person they do it to. )

Any collection is a red flag. If it was one collection for a large medical bill, I might have been more lenient. But, someone who lets a $100 bill of any kind make it all the way to collections, is going to be a problem tenant. Especially, if they never paid it off.
Now, if the collection was several years ago, and it was paid off, and everything has been perfect since, and employment was stable, and they basically had no debt, and their current landlord and last landlord loves them - I might have considered renting to them.
Unpaid collections are a bankruptcy waiting to happen, in my opinion. If they end up owing you rent that ends up a judgment, what's their way out? Bankruptcy.
I'd rather rent to someone with a fresh bankruptcy. At least they couldn't include me in another one for roughly 10 years.
