Background checks necessary for student housing?

[Kristie Eddy]

Hello BP! I am a newer investor and have added a multiplex recently to our portfolio that will be rented to college students. I want to ask whether or not other landlords or property managers are running credit and background checks on college students. We did not with our first tenant group on our SFH but with this multiplex, I'm wondering if we should. Any thoughts or advise for these college student rentals would be much appreciated!
