Tenant Background Checks
The best way to do credit checks on prospective tenants?
After winning a ruling in my favor against tenant non-payment, I can not wait, then garnish his wages expulsion (legally, of course). Now I have to find a replacement tenant. What I did before it was to credit, background and history. What information I usually need a candidate? Social Security number, perhaps? Tenant loans more to get the number otherwise a complete stranger? I wonder what their experiences have been. Thanks in advance!
Finding a good tenant is able to work. First, you need a good application that gives the right of the necessary controls. http://www.4shared.com/file/69263962/65b5c841/application.html You can also charge the applicant a fee to run the controls. Most applications require a large amount of information, you must be check. Address past owners, employment history, income, references, social security number, date of birth, bank accounts, etc. If you can not see something, go to the applicant. You need a list of minimum criteria to be followed. If the applicant does not meet your criteria, go. Income must be at least three times the rent, no evictions, no court, no drugs, sex or belief of violence of any kind, or collections of two years of positive references owner, if two years of stable employment, etc. an application is not entitled to complete, the applicant is only removed from his apartment. If a candidate does not provide the information you need, not want the applicant as a tenant. If any of the information contained in the application is false, the applicant is self-examination of his apartment. You should do the next free checks. Most states have court records are available online for free. You can visit their local courthouse and run a check. Any evictions, small claims or civil proceedings and the plaintiff claims he was expelled. Some states have criminal records online, you can search for free. You need name, name and date of birth. If criminal checks are not available online, go to your local police station. The cost is minimal. Then it credit check. Credit reports provide much information you can use to verify the application information – income, past addresses, and credit information. You must register for a service to run credit checks. http://www.clearscreening.com and http://www.mrlandlord.com/html/creditfaq.html These are two services that charge only by the report. No hidden fees or yearly.
