First time renting house. How do you get a credit report on applicants? Is there a permission form to be filled out. How much to charge for report? what is good score?

Hi, credit reports are first obtained by getting good relevant information on your tenant via a rental application. There is a free one on this site. There are many good companies that will perform background checks from anywhere from $10 plus. There are some good resources listed under "Resources>Links on this site. Congrats on your first rental property!

I would be more concern about having her pay the rent instead of her credit rating. Send her the Notice to Pay or Quit. Than you go to Small Claims to collect the unpaid rent, assuming she move. A judgement in your favor will appear on her report.

Not usually. You can attach a copy of the report if you want but it's not required. If you decline them then you have to add information for the applicant to get a free copy of the report in the denial letter. But if approved they don't really need it.

If the prospective tenants pay for the credit and criminal screening, but do not get selected, do I as the landlord have to refund that fee?

I just completed using the electronic application and the credit application for several potential renters, very fast and easy to use for me and the applications. It also transcribed into a lease. Great way to get your results quickly.

Why don’t you seek assistance from real estate agents? My agents at Cloud Real Estate conducted a complete credit check of the tenants.
