I am about to rent an apartment in my brownstone and needed to know if anyone can direct me to:
1. a good form of rental application for prospective tenants to fill out; and
2. a service (online or otherwise) that would allow me, as a landlord, to do a credit/ criminal background/eviction/bankruptcy check on prospective tenants.
Thank you for any information in advance.
The Landlord Protection Agency has a new credit report provider called “Clearscreen”. The nice thing is that the credit reports are cheaper and they there is NO onsite inspection for private landlords.
I have been a member for six or seven years and use the LPA forms all the time. It’s made a positive difference for me.

tenant verification service does all you described plus credit scorefor about$35 and is instant on the screen and printable. I used it to check my tenants.

Thank you HC.
I’ve used MrLandlord.com/onlinechecks to run credit checks. You have to demonstrate that you’re a landlord to run credit checks through these types of services, so it may take a couple of days to set it up. I found Landlord411.com a good source for forms. You may want to speak with an attorney too if you’re a first-time landlord. . .
