You simply cannot trust everyone no matter how trustworthy they seem to be. Being a landlord,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, I not only had to protect my property, but also myself and my family and other renters.
A good way to protect people and property is to run a tenant background check before you rent to them. There are many types of screenings or background checks that you can run before you rent to somebody.
I like to do a background check,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, a social security background check and a tenant screening.  I use You are not allowed to view links.

A background check is always an important step in the rental agreement process.  It can give you a glimpse into what a person is capable of doing.  I obviously wouldn't want a child abuser living in an apartment next to a family with young children.
A social security background check is  very useful to check that you are renting to a person who is in the country legally. You could get yourself into all sorts of trouble if you are renting to someone who is not in the country legally.
A couple of years ago I had a couple approach me to rent one of the apartments in my building  They were nice and neat, well mannered and their application form looked fine. I was pleased that I was renting to them because I was sure that they would be no trouble and would rent for a long period.
As per normal I ran a tenant background check and suddenly they didnt look quite so perfect  they had a history of not paying  rentthey had forfeited their security deposit three times and for leaving previous properties in a really bad way.
