I know it's hard to believe as it was single digit weather yesterday but we have a fair share of homeless people here and "stone cold criminals" LOL.

I use Keycheck to run a criminal, eviction and credit check.

Note, there are some felonies that are so serious it would be too high a risk for us to consider.LEGAL/CRIMINAL HISTORY1.

Take a lot of photos, post videos, post the requirements for credit, income, criminal, so people weed themselves out and the serious ones get through.

No criminal or evictions. 

Tenants with criminal histories or previous evictions have turned out to be my best ones.

Some of this matters for the eviction and some is important to determine jurisdiction in a criminal matter.

Guys who are really able to find high quality tenants (do appropriate credit / criminal checks) and do good / solid work. 

What your looking for is stable income.Pull criminal history.
