Tenants who are about to get into an apartment on a rental basis should ideally review the apartment much before their housewarming. Let's go through the strategies of renting.

If the owner of a rental property does a background check, there are some things you owe about your rights.

1.  Homeowners have a right to check your record and your conduct as a tenant history. If you are discriminated for reasons, such as your race or gender, contact the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

2. Are you going to rent a house or apartment of your property, but having doubts about who can be your tenant.

3. Check if the applicant has debts. However, if the records show that he or she has been making monthly payments consistently to settle the debt, you can be sure of your tenant's conduct.

4. Invite the applicant to a detailed visit and an interview. Once the applicant has passed all other checks, it is time to make the decision.

5. Having a long conversation with the applicant and showing you the property you are going to rent will give you the last pieces of information you need to feel confident about your final choice.

6. Ask him/her to bring salary pay slips and bank statements so that you can check his/her work history. He or she may also bring a check for the sum of the deposit, in case both want to close the deal immediately.
