How to Obtain a Renter Credit Check
Initiating a renter credit check is a safeguard for any property owner. Making sure you have a tenant that manages their credit is the first step in entering into a solid lease with a quality renter. You don’t want to deal with the hassle and expense of a renter who cannot pay their rent and has to eventually be evicted.
Here are some instructions on how to go about screening a tenant and obtaining a renter credit check.
Rental Application
It’s important to have a prospective tenant fill out a rental application. This document will have all of the renter’s identifying information such as their name, current address and contact information. The application should also include language authorizing you to pull a credit report and run a background check. If authorization language is not part of your rental application, be sure to have a separate document that the renter fills out.
