Tenant credit reports for landlords
Renting a property is a financial commitment on both sides. A tenant credit report is one tool landlords use to learn more about a prospective renter before signing a lease. It does not replace your own judgment, but it can give you useful background.
The Credit Bureau of Wellsboro provides credit information to help you decide whether renting to a particular applicant makes sense for you.
Landlord credit check in Wellsboro: when to ask
The right moment to request information is before you rent, not after. Landlords often find it useful to get credit information:
- Before renting an apartment
- Before renting a house or other home
- Before agreeing to terms with a new applicant
Contacting us early means you can make the decision with the facts in front of you. We can usually give you an answer within minutes.
How ordering works
Call the office at 570-724-1041 or fax your request to 570-724-9351, our 24-hour fax line. Our staff will explain what is needed to place the order.
Federal law generally limits who may obtain a consumer report and for what purposes, which is why we ask for certain details first. This is general information and not legal advice. If you have questions about your own obligations as a landlord, consider speaking with an attorney.
