No previous landlord

[Leah Brunette]

I’m in the process of screening some tenants but they don’t have a previous landlord for references.   they are selling their home in a different area of the state and would like to move to the town my rental is in.  Do I just forgo the reference check? Or is there another option you would recommend? Do I ask them for proof their house is actually on the market, so I know they’re not trying to hide a poor rental history? 

Thank you!
