Copy of tenants ID

[Cedric Mitchell]

Should I have a copy of the tenants ID if they completed the Application and background/credit check online. I was thinking that I should so that I can make sure I'm renting to the right person. Am I correct? Please help and thanks again!

I would still ask for it at some point prior to acceptance. If everything checks out online with their application, you could make it part of them coming to sign the final paperwork. If you want it sooner than that, you could say "So everything checked out with your online application. I'll just need you to come by so I can take a copy of your drivers license and go over a few things.. etc."
