You can actually write your own. Then use some service to get the BG, Cr, and eviction reports.
CR reports require: full name, DOB, SSN, last known address, and previous address.
W/o the first three, you get no reports at all.
ask residence questions:
- current addr, previous addr
- name and phone num of each
- WHY are you moving
ask family questions:
- names living with you, pets
- number / license for cars
- phone / email addresses
ask employment questions:
- where & how long
- manager name & number
- current income for each adult
at the bottom, be sure to state
"I declare the above statements are true and correct and agree that they are part of the rental / lease agreement.
I hereby authorize a background check, verification of references, employment and a credit check as a condition of occupancy;
