Tenant backgrounds checks are commonly used by landlords and property management companies to verify a potential tenant’s identity and whether or not anything in past records might indicate a problem (i.e. a history of evictions).
Background checks for renters can vary based on the information each landlord wants to see, but generally it includes the following:
County or State Criminal Record Check
Sex Offender Registry Check
Credit Report
Proof of Income
Previous Landlord References
Eviction History
Employment History
