these cases, the tenant would have a civil judgment record, but it would not appear on their eviction or credit report. Bankruptcies may still appear on a credit report, but often with limited information. AAOA’s Bankruptcies, Tax Liens, and Civil Judgments report would provide you with more information you may need to vet a tenant. LANDLORD VERIFICATION While an eviction search tells you if your applicant was legally evicted during the last seven years, it does not tell you what kind of tenant they are. When you order a landlord verification, our staff will call their past landlord(s) and get the full story of their tenancy. Did they pay rent on time? Did they damage the property? Were people not named on the lease living there? This report can be a determinate as to whether you should rent to these people or not. EMPLOYMENT VERIFICATION Similar to the landlord verification, a call will be placed to the applicant’s former and/or current company to confirm their employment. There has been a marked increase in fraudulent tactics used by applicants, such as producing counterfeit pay stubs and 1099 forms, so this report can play an important role in your decision-making process.
