Most landlords conduct background checks on potential renters, especially since online background screening services have made it easy and affordable for them to do so. These services likely include a credit check, so getting your credit in order is one way to make a good impression on landlords.
If you haven’t seen a credit report in a while, it’s worth noting that you’ll receive one when you order a renter report from Rental History Report. You can also see your rental payment history, eviction records and criminal history, allowing you access to the same type of information landlords will see. It never hurts to make sure everything that could appear on a rental background check is accurate.
