Confirm tenant history

Ask about their last five to 10 years of tenant history. Get specific addresses, years lived there, and the name and phone number of their previous landlords. Call them. Make sure the landlords don’t say anything worrisome. Make sure the timelines the landlords say the tenant lived there line up with what the tenant wrote down. Beware of someone who has had to move around frequently. They may be a problematic tenant.
