besides references, what does a landlord check on a potential renter?

Answer 1

1.Credit approval per management criteria
2.Criminal background usually only past 7yrs
3.Sex Offender Registry in all states lived in from 18yrs old
4.Landlord Reference to find out about rent delinquencies, disturbances, eviction, housekeeping, lease violations
5. Employer Verification - verify income to qualify
6. Personal Reference - this would be the least used though.

Answer 2

A landlord generally checks your credit history along with how much money you make a month. Some renter require that you make three times more money than the rent itself ( a month). The landlord may also call your employer to ask for verification that you work there. They may also talk to past landlords to see how you left the place and whether you caused any problems while there. Hope this helps
