how to pull tenants' credit and background checks?

[Corey Demuth]

What services do you use to pull credit and background checks on applicants (potential tenants)? Can you use the same tools in multiple states, and are there any legal issues associated with pulling credit and/or background checks for potential tenants?

Thanks!

Whether you do, or you don't. Make sure you get the written consent of the applicant. Hopefully, it is on you application somewhere. Have to be in compliance with the Fair Debt Collections law.
