After watching a bunch of episodes of "Can't Pay, We'll Take It Away" and "Nightmare Tenants,Slum Landlords", I feel compelled to tighten up my screening. I think I am finally going to complete and register the paperwork to access Mrlandlord online credit checks. Would appreciate any thoughts on this. --107.141.xx.xxx

Great service to use! In home inspection was looking for shredder, password protected computer, locking file cabinet... nothing crazy. --24.61.xxx.xx

The biggest issue I have had is that I am a small landlord and I don't always use the service for a year or two and then have had a deactivated account. All I had to do was call in and they reactivated it for me. --155.188.xxx.xx

Great information,as I am getting ready to need this. Thanks. --73.120.xx.xxx

I have used the service for several years and am very happy with it. --166.137.xxx.xxx

You'll love it. Just follow each step in the set up and don't stress about it. It's worth it! --99.203.xx.xxx

If I ever get an application I will have to try it out. --73.120.xx.xxx

6x6, call them now because you need to have an inspection prior to being set up to run credit. If you wait for the application you won’t be set up to run their credit. They will tell you what you need for the inspection (shredder, locking file cabinet, etc). Once you are set up, credit can be run instantaneously 24/7. --24.61.xxx.xx

Etc. --99.92.xxx.xxx

Hoosier, just clarifying that you run your own and use another way instead of MrLL. If you are saying not to use MrLL, I would disagree. You get a full credit report and can also get criminal/eviction (which don’t always have everything, but I don’t believe NH reports criminal or eviction). MrLL is easy to use and reasonably priced. --24.61.xxx.xx

Thank you Still Learning --73.120.xx.xxx

How do they do an in home inspection? Hoosier Do you just call the credit bureaus and get credit information directly from them? --73.120.xx.xxx

They send someone to your house/office to do the inspection. This is because you need to be in compliance with the Fair Credit and Reporting Act if you are going to pull someone’s credit. --24.61.xxx.xx

Thank you again Still Learning. --73.120.xx.xxx

You know, that would be a great roundtable or even panel discussion at the May convention--how to evaluate a credit report! --204.210.xxx.xxx

I agree Robin that would be great. --73.120.xx.xxx

Once approved, I was sent a large packet from my credit check company that explained how to read their reports. They have also been very helpful when I have called with a question. --98.146.xxx.xxx

It took me a while but I am set up know. Thank you all for your advice. --73.120.xx.xxx

Is there somewhere I can see an example of a Mr. LL credit, eviction, criminal report so I can get a feel for the content and format? --24.147.xx.xxx

Johnny B, why don't you contact the Mr. LL credit check company and ask them if they can provide you a sample and an explanation to see if it would meet your needs. --99.165.xx.xxx

You will also find a list of the different inexpensive reports that are offered right online, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. --173.50.xx.xx

Thanks everyone. I submitted my application and am now 1 step closer to making deadbeat tenants a problem for OTHER landlords. Was astonished to learn that some LL's here have never had to do an eviction! ZE and ZT are my 2019 goals. --107.141.xx.xxx

There is so much information out there for the landlord, especially here on Mr. Landlord. One must choose and streamline your interactions with your tenants to do what most works for you without taking risk. For example to take your tape measure and pound scale to gauge the tenants wear-and-tear on your carpeting is going overboard. But telling a tenant that they may NOT store their bicycles inside and damage the flooring is a responsible move to insure longer lasting flooring and reduce costs. --47.156.xx.xx
