Need a Credit Report / Screening Agency - Help!
Can anyone recommend a good screening agency that I can go through to pull credit reports on potential tenants? I only have one rental unit (in the other floor of the duplex that I own and reside in) so I don't have a lot of volume.
I've previously been using landlord2landlord.com, but they've recently changed their policy -- such that anyone who operates out of their home, and doesn't have a separate/secure office area dedicated to property management duties (and they charge you $100 to verify this) can no longer have access to credit information. They say that this is due to changes in TransUnion's policies (caused by changes in the FCRA - Federal Credit Reporting Act) so I'm afraid that my options may be somewhat limited.
Any suggestions?
