Many landlords simply perform a credit check on applicants prior to renting or signing a lease. However an eviction report is perhaps the most telling document a landlord can use as it greatly informs a potential tenant’s rental history. An eviction report is a singular disqualifier as no landlord or property manager would rent to an applicant that has just recently been evicted by a previous landlord or apartment management company. Typically a good eviction check costs around $20 to perform and is worth every penny. A thorough tenant background check should include a credit check, criminal history check, national sex offender search and an eviction search. The more information a landlord has the better their leasing decisions will be.
