Renting a property and screening tenants

[Andreas Riha]

Hi Guys,
This is my first post so please dont be too critical of my post ;-)
When screening a tenant for a rental property are 100% of tenants referenced and credit checked through a credit checking company?

I am based in Ireland and the vast majority of reference checking is done by the rental agent through references they collect from the tenant by paper copy or soft copy and then verified by the agent / landlord.

Looking forward to engaging with you guys.
