Landlord Question and Answer Forum
Hello - I have been trying to contact an applicant's landlord for 4-5 days now to get his rental history, and have had no response. Are landlords required to respond to this inquiries?
thanks

RE: Are landlords required to give rental history?
Landlords are not required to respond. If the landlord is not responding, doesn't that make you wonder, why not? I used to own a duplex and would not rent to tenants who landlords did not respond. Another choice you have is to run a police activity report for that address to see the activity at the house. Make sure you do a background check, credit check ( get the proper paper work signed from the tenant first). You can join a local Landlord Association, this is a good way to get to know your local landlords. The good ones have no problem joining these types of groups. This will also help you become a better landlord. They normally have alot of discounts and insite to the rental business.
