I am going to be a first time landlord in Fresno, CA.  I'm looking to rent out 2 of my bedrooms in my SFH.  I was wondering what is the best way to screen future tenants if I don't want to pay for a monthly subscripti...

You can take this false affidavit into your local police or court officer (whoever institutes criminal charges in your jurisdiction).

I have a clean criminal background, and the 3 evictions have all been dismissed.Sadly I heard a realtor(here) make the claim that people who get evicted had to be due to neglect to pay their rent.

That is illegal and may actually be criminal under state and federal law.

- I use an online credit/eviction/criminal background check service, should I expect them to be able to fill out and pay via the online service?

If someone applies, how would you suggest that we run credit and criminal background checks on them so I can see if they are someone I would like to run credit on? 

Check for  satisfactory credit, Criminal, and Income and have them provide prior landlord references and call them.

This includes income & asset verification, tenant's credit, criminal, and eviction reports.

I have quite some questions that need your help: For tenant screening, I plan to do the routine background (eviction, criminal) screening and credit check.

Must have not terrible credit, and no significant criminal record.
