However, you can rely on the information you get from a credit report that shows someone who gets into difficult financial problems, who chooses to continue to watch their cable TV beyond the point where they can pay for it, or charges on their credit cards knowing they can't pay the bill. 

Last time I was over to fix a ceiling fan I think they were up to a TV, couch, living room chair, a couple night stands, an armoire, and a couple chairs and a folding table in the dining area after eight months. 

Then, the tenants call up the cable company or ATT for TV and/or internet.  

The final kicker was, as they were leaving, the original guy mentioned that he really liked the fireplace mantel because his 70 inch TV would fit up there very nicely....no shower, no central air but a big screen TV.I thought I had discouraged them enough when I told them that each would have to pay the screening fee to check credit/criminal history but I'll be darned if they didn't call back four days later saying they had the applications (I had to provide them several) all filled out. 

Was "Reefer Madness" on TV last nite?  

Sure, there is Joe and Jane X living over their limits switching phones every six months and buying the largest TV they can get their hands on while living on Section 8 assistance, but there are other cases.  

You learn to raise the volume on the TV as you hear the horns approaching.  

I get text messages from tenants on their iPhones, who drive nice cars and have Direct TV that their rent will be late...

A small couch and TV. 

This is the town they filmed the TV show Northern Exposure in, if anyone remembers that show.It would have been farther out than we really wanted to be from where my hubby worked at the time, but we knew to buy, we'd have to sacrifice a bit.So, I knew to order a title search, and it was worth it to me to just pay for one, rather than do it myself, as I was pregnant and working full-time, as was hubby.My moral to this story is not about whether or not I would have found the same info - I'm sure I would have.
