Anyone have any good landlord resources for credit and background checks that aren’t too expensive? How about one that gives instant results instead of having to wait a day or two for an angency that runs it for you and gets back to you.
I use http://www.ntnnet.com/office/national/national.html the results are instantly on your screen and they do criminal and rental background as well as credit. They charge about $30 which I get from the applicant.
I use the National Association of Independent Landlords - www.nail-usa.com. Instant credit and criminal background checks - $25 will do both depending on what you want.
However, I don’t usually get the criminal background check on the web, because you can get a free criminal background check by visiting the municipal court and common pleas court websites for your county. Most renters don’t move very far from home.
