Landlord Question and Answer Forum
My wife and I are first time LL renting her deceased mother's house next door. I have read here the importance of doing background/credit checks. Should we charge an application fee for this and does anyone have a recommendation for who to use? We're in Oklahoma.
Thanks,
John.

I decided to use E-Renter.com and it was very easy. Price seemed good for the results. Immediate response.

I used E-renter and it didn't turn up anything. However, when I searched local state public records, I found all kinds of things including felony charges. I'd be careful, very careful who you choose. Try to check as many sources as possible, and if there are too many red flags, pass!
