Lindie is one of those rare individuals who were born knowing everything.
First try contacting one of the local landlord associations. Many times they are already registered to pull credit reports, and the fees will not be that great.
You can't simply call Equifax and request one. Without a certain number of active accounts they won't even talk to you. There are some companies that offer to pull credit reports, but they charge quite a bit. Contact one of the credit bureaus for a list.

When your prospective renter fills out the application for tenancy (application to rent from you) there should be a section on that application for banking history. This is the easiest way to verify payment history. Everyone establishes some sort a banking history when they open any account. Call the bank they listed. The bank will guide you though how to obtain history on that account/person (remember banks do communicate) if they have loans out they will let you know and they payment histories. If thye have a checking account they will tell you in a month how many times that the bounced checks.
Go to Office Max. They have some great books and easy forms for landlords to use based on your state.

Get ahold of one of the agencies that do credit reports. Also, ask another landlord what procedure they went through to check other their prospective renter's credit reports. Im sure it will cost you some money. And do us all a favor and try not to become one of those slum-landlords that expect their money on time but that never fixes anything and allows their tenents to live in subhuman conditions.
