Tenant screening, background check on Zillow

[Diane Mendoza]

Hi all! I bought a 2-unit property and now in the process of screening tenants. I am currently using Zillow to screen tenants and had the application option turned on so I have candidates who paid $35.00 for the Zillow application fee. I noticed on the forums that many landlords do not find Zillow background check and credit check reliable. Is it completely unreasonable to request another background check through a more reliable engine like Mysmartmoves.com? 

Thank you in advance.
