RE: background checks

To be safe do a credit check also, you have to find a reputable company ,a lot of them are not , they take your money and then you try to look it up and N.A. Check with a realestate company in your area and see who they use, You must have there written permission and usually there Social security number . Go to your local library and get the landlord laws in your state, Liability insurance, dogs and cats , parking , lease or month to month , there is a lot to it.
