Honesty you just need to make sure they have 

-above a 650 credit score 

-no evictions, BK/ Bankrupts, or foreclosures

-3x the income as the base rent 

-background check  

Lastly get references of past landlords they have used and call them to get a feel of the tenant and make sure everybody who is living in the home over 18 is on the lease and does this. A lot of websites do this for a small fee of like $40-$50 and make the renters pay this before signing the lease. Rentler has a great platform to use
