I told her that I wanted to verify all the info that they provided on the application, so I'd be doing a background, criminal, and credit check.

For a lot of these low income tenants their only credit they have are their pay stubs and clean eviction/criminal record.

Some are excellent renters but just don't have the credit score to be homeowners.Make sure you check the following:- Criminal history- Eviction history- Rental history (be sure you're calling the real landlord)If they don't have any criminal history, have not had any evictions, pay their rent on time and in full every month, and take care of the property, does it matter that their credit score might be a 600 versus an 800?

The P is likely high because of the criminal activity at the complex.

., this renter had a credit score below the minimum threshold you set, or had a criminal ding that should have automatically disqualified them from the property).I hope this helps.

She had a job; no history of eviction; and no criminal record.

I highly doubt the money holding company is giving lie detector tests and there is no way a basic criminal background check, which is all computerized, is as expensive as an Special Agent going out and doing interviews, collecting documents, assessing information, creating and typing reports, etc. etc.

When you do a credit check and a criminal background check on prospective tenants, what site do you use and how much do you pay?

Hi Jean and Bill, appreciate the updates.I believe that many of these cases are Civil NOT Criminal under RICO (both can apply) therefore there is no felony or criminal record.

Among those remedies are both civil and criminal sanctions that may exist in your particular jurisdiction.
