Background check for Renter

[Imran Khan]

Hi, I have a potential renter for whom I want to do a background check on. He's got decent credit score and he says he sold his house and invested in stock market and looking for rental property. He has time-sharing vacation business and made a lot last year. But, he has 3 court cases against him (one with HOA where he sold the house, one with carpet flooring company, one with credit card company).

Now, please help me decide what should I look for (may be ask his stock portfolio OR tax papers from previous years?). How can I decide if he is going to be a good fit. I’ve met him seems decent (but don’t want to judge bases on meeting once).
