Screen Tenants Before You Sign a Lease
Landmark Investigations provides tenant background checks for landlords and property managers in Nacogdoches, Texas.
You need to know if a prospective tenant has a history of criminal activity or financial instability before handing over keys to your property. A tenant background check in Nacogdoches gives you access to criminal history, credit background screening, income and employment verification, and rental history verification. Landmark Investigations compiles this information into a risk assessment report so you can make informed leasing decisions.
The screening process begins once you receive written authorization from the applicant. Criminal history is searched at the county, state, and federal levels. Credit background screening provides a snapshot of the applicant's financial responsibility, including payment history and outstanding debts. Income and employment are verified through contact with the applicant's employer, and rental history is confirmed by reaching out to previous landlords.
If you are renting property in Nacogdoches and need to screen a tenant, Landmark Investigations can begin the process as soon as you have signed authorization.
Criminal, Financial, and Rental Records Are All Reviewed
Landmark Investigations starts by running a criminal history search that covers felony and misdemeanor convictions, arrest records, and sex offender registry results. Credit background screening is completed next, providing a summary of the applicant's payment history, outstanding debts, and any derogatory marks such as bankruptcies or collections.
Once financial and criminal records are reviewed, income and employment are verified by contacting the applicant's employer directly. Rental history is confirmed by reaching out to previous landlords to ask whether the tenant paid rent on time, maintained the property, and left in good standing. All of this information is compiled into a risk assessment report that gives you a clear view of the applicant's reliability and financial stability.
The report is delivered in a format that is easy to read and designed to help you decide whether the applicant is a safe choice for your property. Landmark Investigations handles the verification work so you do not have to track down information from multiple sources.
Landlords often ask about what shows up
Tenant background checks raise questions about what records are included, how rental history is reported, and what happens if the applicant has no prior rental history.
What does the criminal history search include?
The criminal history search includes felony and misdemeanor convictions, arrest records, pending charges, and sex offender registry results. You receive a report that shows charges, case outcomes, and the jurisdictions where the records were found.
What does credit background screening show?
Credit background screening shows the applicant's payment history, outstanding debts, credit utilization, and any derogatory marks such as bankruptcies, collections, or judgments. You receive a summary that helps you assess financial responsibility.
Can you verify rental history if the applicant rented from a private landlord?
