For the landlords on BP, do you check eviction records when screening potential tenants. If so, which website/service provider do you use? Any pro and cons would be greatly appreciated.

@Xi Zhu , National Tenant Network (ntnonline.com) and RentPrep.com both offer full background, rental history, etc. that you can use for screening for a reasonable price.  They also offer rejection letters for anyone that does not meet the criteria which is nice to help cover your liability.
