Basically, you sign up for a free account. From your Experian account, you send an email requesting the tenant prospect to register and sign up and to “share” his/their credit file with you. They pay $20 or so, and then they can share the credit file with you through Experian. Experian sends you an email, you log in and view their credit file. They don’t see your SSN, and you don’t see their SSN. I use this for all my tenants. I don’t accept “hand copies” of credit files they email or fax me (because they can be doctored).
As far as employment verification, I just get them to send me the phone number for to their HR department, and have them sign a consent for employment verification screening. Then I contact the HR dept for employment verification WITH income verification. If it costs money, I tell them to pay for it.
I don’t do normally do background checks if the employees work at reputable company. I assume the reputable company already did a background check prior to hiring them.
If you need a property manager, I can recommend one in South County. He probably does north county too… PM me.[/quote]
Thanks for sharing this…doubt I will need this anytime soon, but looks like a good way…
I suppose you don’t rent to people who work at very small companies (which can be faked like fake referrals)…
