Company recommendation for tenant background check

Account Closed

My father will be renting out a duplex in the next month and I want to make sure he does a background check to screen tenants. 

I'm looking for recommendations of companies that do trust worthy background checks. 

Also, any advice on an effective method to find good tenants!

Hi @Account Closed

Are you looking for just criminal background checks, or credit / criminal / eviction?

For finding tenants I'd recommend:

- Posting on Craigslist

- Syndicating the listing our to the major online websites (rent.com, apartments.com, etc.)

- Possibly a yard sign (depending upon vehicle / foot traffic that would see it).

Make sure to price it correctly, have lots of pictures and a decent description in the advertisement.

Feel free to message me with any additional questions.
