Backgrounds

[Donald Cooley]

Hi all, 

My wife and I are in the process of marketing and renting out our first income property. Is it normal to do a criminal background check along with the credit history? Just curious. I've advertised on a site called Cozy along with my advertising with our Realtor. The site charges applicants 35 dollars for a credit history and a background check. 

Just wondering if this is overdoing it or par for the course. Any advise will be helpful. 

Thanks
