Tenant Screening for Section 8 Applicants
In the past, I used a realtor to get tenants for a two family rental even with them having to pay realtor fee in addition to rent and 1.5 months deposit. This time around, most of the inquiries are from people who receive subsidized housing. Any specific recommendations to screen tenants especially when a credit check isn't an option?

@Rebecca Thomas you can still do a credit check. In some cases the agencies will pay for it, while in others you would probably have to get it from either the tenant or from yourself.
