Company recommendation for tenant background check
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.
