Why Successful Landlords do Rental History Verification
Rental history verification is an extremely important step in the tenant screening process. If a person has been a good renter in the past, chances are they will continue this pattern. The reverse is also true.
Rental history verification is very straight forward. You want to speak with the past landlord and find out what type of a tenant the applicant has been.
Ask the following questions:
*Length of time rented?
*Did any problems occur while renting? If yes explain
*How many times were they late paying rent?
*Do they know why person is leaving?
*Do they have pets?
*Are they breaking the lease?
*Would you rent to them again?
Make sure you do good rental history verification.

Interesting list. I’m curious what you believe the prevailing attitude is and should be towards renting to people with pets, especially dogs. I have a friend who is just having a heck of a time finding a decent place for her income because she has cats. She’d really love a dog for her little girl, but she just can’t find a place to rent to her that is also affordable.
