Alternatives to Credit Reports for Tenant Screening

[Vitaliy Merkulov]

As some of you might have heard, that credit reports are no longer going to contain some negative information on the reports according to this this article "Credit Reports to Exclude Certain Negative Information, May Pose Risks for Landlords" that cites The Wall Street Journal. 

From what I know, most landlords and property managers heavily depend on credit reports for screening tenant. So I'm assuming that landlords will need to find additional sources for information on applicants.

What additional sources do you use for screening tenants besides the traditional credit score, eviction, and landlord references?

Social Networks?

Googling their name?

Google Maps?

Showing up at their current home?

Other?

Would love to learn some secrets from the Pros on BP :)
