How can we get credit reports on potential tenants and customers or business partners?
There are hundreds of commercial websites offering this sort of information. http://www.creditreport.com is one of many. You also probably have a landlord’s trade group near you that may have negotiated a group rate with one of the big three credit reporting services. Landlord’s groups are usually named something like “Geographical Area Apartment Association”, or etc., and can be a great resource for model leases and other materials.
I have used Tenant Credit Reports successfully for some time. They are prompt, offer a variety of services and are inexpensive.
This link might not work since it has the asp tag on it, but go to http://www.transunion.com and select biz solutions and reale estate and product information request from…and select “tenant screening” from the drop down menu.
