How to do a background and credit check on a potential roommate?
To get a credit report for them you will need to have an account with the agency. To access criminal records and previous address details you can visit the local and state government websites to gain access to the public records for your new roommate. It’s likely though that you’ll be asked to pay for admin fees, copies of reports and maybe even to run the search itself. You’ll also only get access to the information for that state or area and not for all states. If a person has committed a crime in another state, you won’t be given this information by searching this way. It’s much better to use a private company that will be able to give you access to millions of records in their database to give you results from the whole country. It’s simple and easy to do. It’s the best and most thorough way for finding out about a criminal record.
