Does anyone have a recommendation for a reliable tenant screening service, online or local?

I am a member of Rental Housing Association of Greater Portland. They have a website that you can go to get information. I screen all of my tenants through this Association. The screening includes
Credit/ Criminal Background/ Landlord eviction. You just have an annual membership that you pay. Which
is tax deductable. They also have a phone number to call if you have any tenant questions. You can also buy all of your current legal landlord forms there too. It's a great resource!

Great answer from Tom, but also check to see if there is a Rental Management Association in your area. I know there's one in my area, I have all my investors who have rentals join. It's a great group!

If you are new to being a land lord you might talk to a few rental mangement companies and see what they charge and what it covers? The state of Oregon has some information on land lord rules and the city of Porland offers classes on being a land lord thru out the year. Good Luck,
