Landlord Question and Answer Forum

I will be renting out my home. Does anybody have any recommendation in which website to use for credit and criminal report?

There are a couple sites listed on the Links page of this site, Saferent and NTNOnline, that offer them, but I've never personally used them.

Lily be careful with some they promise you all the information and you give them your credit card number and you don't get all the information , one good thing though if a person has bad credit you probably won;t get the application back. You will need there social security number . be careful once you give them the key they have possession. think about dogs , cats and snowremoval , in your lease and how many cars they have .

Lily, one more thing is liability insurance and trash removal. Ask them where they lived last and for how long , check there car out , I once had a person tell me he was in the witness protection program, Somtimes there last landlord is not there landlord at all . A credit check is a good step , somtimes that little old lady with the change purse that pays you every month is better than the the guy with the divorce and the caddy.
