Are individual tenant screenings legit for commercial apps?

[Tamas Z.]

Hi,

General question about prospective tenant screening for commercial space: If a new applicant comes in, and their business doesn't really have enough history to have a good background picture (e.g. new biz), is using a tenant screening service you'd normally use for regular rental screening a legitimate way to go?

Would using something like MySmartMove with the individual business owner of an applicant be okay? I'm not sure if there are any standard laws preventing that from being a legit avenue.

Thanks again!
