Run Credit Reports For Tenants
2010
As a landlord, can I run a credit report on an evicted tenant who owes me money?
I have a judgement on a former renter. Is it legal for me to run a credit report?
Is there a better way to find out where the person might have accounts? Other than a PI (expensive).
I didn’t get to run the credit report, because this tenant moved in with my existing tenant, and that’s when the trouble started. Now I am trying to collect for the damages. I plan to keep it legal (that’s one reason I asked) I just want to do whatever possible, within the law, to collect what I am owed. Thanks for your answers!
If you are a professional landlord then you have an ironclad lease agreement that allows you to periodically run credit checks on your tenants and former tenants that still owe you money. This lease agreement would be signed by the deadbeat and would give you permission to pull the report.
Contrary to what some of the others above me said, a great deal of information can be obtained from a credit report and it is a good first step in hunting someone down. This is how all professional collection agencies do it.
Good Luck
