Question: How do I go about checking credit history of a prospective tennant.? 

Answer: The National Association of Independent Landlords is recommended by Equifax.  They charge an annual fee--like 50 bucks or something.  You receive your first two reports for free.  Then, you pay a fee per report.  You can pull credit, criminal, and eviction reports for about $25.00\n\nYou need the tenant's SSN, DOB, and last address.  Check the site for more info.
