They are looking for a pattern of paying bills late or defaulting on a loan, etc. which would imply that you will be a problem for them to rent to...
You can go to FreeCreditReport.com and see what yours looks like so you'll know what they are seeing.

i'm a realtor in bakersfield and i usually help out our investors to rent out their place and when i pull their credits first i look if they have a good credit scores second i look if they any lates on their credit cards third see if they have any bankruptcy fourth collection information. sometimes they don't have to bee good in all of the area. and last step that i do is i call their previous landlord make sure that you check the property profile to make sure that the name that the renter gave you and the owner's name on the property profile matches because sometimes they just give out their friends number so that when you call they could they that ohh they are the best tenant i ever had and they always pay on time well thats bull **** if the owner's name doesn't match from the one they gave you and sometimes they give you a property management company just make sure that the company exists

They are checking to see if you pay, if you've been evicted, and checking to see if past addresses and employers are listed. Every time you apply for credit you are asked to provide your address and employer. If you apply for credit often and give several different addresses and employers the landlord may believe you are likely to stay for a shorter period of time. People who change jobs and addresses like socks are a higher risk. Equally, if you have applied for a ton of credit lately, they will wonder why and possibly ask or make their own assumptions.

They want to know if you will pay your rent....The credit report will give them a good idea.

They just want to see if you are a reliable person. Are you responsible for your actions? Do you pay your bills and do you pay them on time? Also, how often do you pick up and move. The turn over rate on a rental house can be very expensive. They usually look for tenants who are going to be there for a while.

If you are in deep debt or have a lot of unpaid bills.They usually do a criminal check to see if you are a felon. Mostly they check to see if you have been evicted or left a place in bad standing.

past rental places along with history of the amount of places you stay at. credit history along with how your payment history is, like making payments on time. to much credit can actually hurt you.
