Get a credit report by Scout on April 6, 2012 @02:20

Get a credit report. See if they pay their other bills on time. See if there are any judgements against them on their credit report.Call their current landlord. Also call their FORMER landlord (not the place they’re moving out of now, but the one before that). The current landlord might lie and say they’re great tenants, just to get them out of his place…it’s been known to happen. The former landlord will have no incentive to tell you anything but the truth.Oh, and when you make those calls, don’t just take their word for it that their landlord is who they say. Check the real estate records and make sure the names match up. The tenant might lie, too…it’s been known to happen as well. Good luck.
