Tenant Background Checks
Before you rent to a potential tenant, check here first to learn more information about them. This does not substitute for a more lengthy background check, but it is free and can be a good first start. Just because you find something does not mean that you should not rent to the person, but might like to ask them to provide additional information if you have concerns based on what you find.
Does my tenant have a history of evictions?
Does my tenant have a history of judgments?
Does my tenant have a criminal history?
Has my tenant filed for Bankruptcy? (PACER login must be created)
