Evaluating Applications

Howdy!

My husband and I just bought our first investment property! We received our first applications for the rental, two friends in their mid-twenties. They are both living at home with their parents currently. Do I call their parents as a reference? If so, what questions do I ask?

I will also be calling their employers tomorrow. Please give me any advice you have. I know about the typical questions (are they currently employed there, can you verify income, how long have they worked there). Is there anything I am legally not allowed to ask?

Thank you in advance!
