Best background checks, credit scores sites and a couple other questions

[John Nisewonger]

Hi

I have one rental property that I am getting ready to advertise for new tenants (current tenants are buying a house of their own).

What sites are you all using to do background and credit checks? I wish to screen my tenants a little better this go around as my first 2 tenants were absolutely horrible (late payments, trashed property, etc)

Also another question.

When a tenant give you notice to leave. When should I advertise the property? When can I show it (it needs cleaned and painted)? Do I show it before its painted or tell them they have to wait?

Just seeing what others have done in the past. Thanks!!!!!
