How do you vet the company outside of the process I would use for the name personally (criminal, credit and eviction checks)?

I check credit, employment, criminal history, court history, personal references, confirm they can get utilities in their own name, and talk with the previous landlord.

There is a $40 application fee for all adults that will be living in the property and we will be running a national credit, criminal, and eviction report.

Because ITIN numbers are not to be used for credit or criminal history, we cannot place households where all residents are on ITIN numbers as we cannot get the data that we need.

You need the land lord from before the current LL, and it can't be a friend or family member.3) Collections are a sign of severe financial problems.4) About the only thing we don't know so far is criminal background. 

I do not want to lie to them who I am if they are my potential tenants if I have to hold for a while.On the page it says "IT IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE TO TRESPASS ON THIS PROPERTY"What should I do?

At this point, only hoping it wasn't criminally 'cleaned' of its copper or anything else.

@Kendall Vrana   We have been working with section 8 tenant for more than 4 years, you will find good ones,  bad ones etc,  normally they  pay higher rent,  try to find out what is the maximum allowable in your are for this property,,    you will get the money from the housing authority  but ask  them to do the process as normal tenatn,  check eviction and criminal records and do periodic inspections,  one of my tenat have been more than 4 years with no issues but we used to have one that was not the best,    We also do property management and on one occasion  the investor did not want section 8 tenant, check your state 's Fair housing if you are  allowed to do so in the mane of source of income Good luck 

My question is when will regulators put a stop to these licensed criminals?

We are also looking at address history - if it matches the application, if they move a lot.We are also more lenient on criminal, looking at how many counts, how long ago, and seriousness.
