screening young applicants previously living at home

I have three young tenant applicants (room-mates) who each have only one previous formal tenancy.  They have otherwise lived with family. I prefer to check with two previous landlords, so I intend to call these family members.  Does anyone have suggestions for screening questions in that situation?  I don't expect to get much that's helpful, but I'd like to at least try.  Thanks.

Since everything else is checking out and there is steady income, I would ask for first, last and security to make you feel better. Or you could simply ask for a co-signer
