I follow a fellow by the name of Bill Gray who is known as “The Landlord Doctor”. He is a seasoned debt collector and has some great advice about screening tenants in the following article. I’ve mentioned some of this previously, but it’s always great to get a fresh perspective.
Unfortunately Bill’s Site seems to have changed, once I have an update I will fix this link.
Be sure to check out some of his other great articles as well.

This guy is right on the money. You should always do references with any tenant. Your effort upfront always pays off in the long run.
