Verifying your Potential Roommate
Opening your home to a perfect stranger is a big decision. There are a number of factors to consider, but the most important question to ask yourself about your new roommate is, “Are they a reliable, safe person I’m comfortable with bringing into my home?”
Fortunately, there are a number of ways to verify this information (without taking someone’s word for it); by running background checks you would not only provide yourself with peace of mind but also a stable, long term housing relationship.
Credit Check: Why take the chance of bounced checks and over due bills? Run a credit check on your potential roommate and save headaches later.
Eviction Check: Has your new potential roommate ever been evicted before? The answer to this question will probably be a good indication of what sort of roommate they’ll turn out to be. Why find out the hard way? Run an eviction check and know for sure.
Criminal History Check: Does your new potential tenant have a criminal history? This is information you need before you bring someone into your home for the sake of your property and well being. A criminal history check may be the most important piece of background information you ever get about your new potential roommate.
Have a nice weekend,
