Questions for previous landlord during Tenant Screening?

[Ken D.]

Does anyone have a list of questions to ask a potential tenant's previous landlord during tenant screening? When I've called previous landlord, many of them have required me to have a written list of questions and are unwilling to provide a "general assessment."

1.) Was the rent paid on time? Late how many times?

2.) Was the apartment left in good condition?

Any others? I'm just hoping for an existing list so I can get good information from the previous landlord.

Thanks,
