Tenant Consent to Background Checks (TX)

Texas

As a landlord, you should be careful who you rent your property to. The best way to do this is with a background check. A background check on a tenant can let you know their credit history and whether they have a criminal record. It helps to determine if a tenant is going to be responsible and reliable when it comes to paying rent and maintaining the property in good condition.

Before conducting a background check, you will need permission from the applicant. This document serves as authorization for you to perform or request a background, credit, and/or criminal background check of the applicant.

Background checks should only be run after you've made a preliminary decision about whether to rent to the tenant. This will help protect you from unintentional discrimination against potential renters based on age, criminal history, etc.
