[quote=no_such_reality]I agree with flu. You don’t want cash, you want verification from a bureau that they consistently pay their bills
I’ve used smartmove for my tenants which includes the background check. Something that’s increasingly important. Flu does the experian one include background checks?[/quote]
No. Experian Tenant Check doesn’t do a background/criminal check. I’ve been lucky that the first tenants that made my credit score requirements, by stroke of luck , were also tech workers at large companies that were hired recently and looking to relocate into San Diego. So I piggybacked on the fact that prior to them being hired, the big company already did a background check/screening prioroffering them a job. And the other tenant, simply I just let the property manager handle it.
Thanks for sharing about smartmove, I’ll use that when I need to in the future.
