I have a prospective renter who says has has owned houses in past 7 years.

So, he does not have a "landlord reference". How to deal with this situation because I can't check any landlord references!!

Also, get the addresses of the last homes that says he owned. You can then search the property records on-line through the county tax assessor websites. Then you can determine whether he actually owned what he claimed he owned.
