Landlord Question and Answer Forum

Forum / General Property Management / credit reports
Just ask the rental applicant to provide a copy of their "free credit report" as a requirement to be included with the rental application. I have just started doing that with my first rental property. They don't even flinch. It is very telling when you see how much they choose to provide to you. Some will provide a complete, detailed report. Some will only provide the page that gives the final score. Some will dodge the whole issue. I ask them at the time I request the report whether anything will show up on the report that I should be concerned about.

RE: credit reports
Good way of weeding out rotten tenants , they will think twice on a application, sometimes these bad tenants are still being evicted and are looking for the next victim.
