You report this on Form 4684.

For criminal background checks, services like TransUnion SmartMove, RentPrep, or MyRental are commonly used and provide comprehensive reports that include criminal history, credit checks, and eviction history.To verify how much they make, you can request recent pay stubs, bank statements, or tax returns if the tenant is self-employed.

Your PM is so laughably wrong about this that I would consider reporting them if possible in your state.

They have excellent reporting features. 

When it comes to reporting this income, beyond the importance of being truthful on taxes, a few key questions arise:Are there any advantages to reporting higher rental income on your 1040?

That motivates them to report leaks, running toilets, or other issues.

Definitely want to utilize prospective tenants directly paying for background and credit reports during the application process. 

Does it validate the bump in rents... this is going to be out of the scope of 95% of LPs out there who don't have access to Co Star etc.Age and Condition of Property:Assess the age of the property (e.g., 1960s-1990s).Evaluate potential maintenance issues and the adequacy of contingency budgets for older properties.

My comments is on taking action and the profit centers of real estate:With real estate, time evens out many bumps, including paying too much.

I will contact the TN Real Estate Commission, which this company has to report.
