  1. Yes, the new leasing office-landlord does call your previous leasing office/landlord to determine your history as a resident/tenant.

    The most obvious question is: Did you pay your rent on time. Another question might be: Did you leave the property in the same condition it was when you first rented?


  2. Depends on the relationship between landlords and renters.

    Given that if they know one another (landlords)  it is variable. That is a reality and not the LAW.

    The laws from state to state vary.

    Live good. Be a good tenant and you will not have to worry about those issues.

    If you were in an unfortunate circumstance then be honest about it and it will be taken into consideration.

    Be concerned about people who DON'T care. They will also not care if you need something.

    Rental screening agencies are a scam. If you are asked to pay to be screened move on to another dwelling. These monies taken from you go directly to the landlord to hire out emplyees.


  3. I would.  I'd ask if you paid on time.  And if it's legal in your state, did you have any problems with the tenant.

  4. Yes they call. Ask if late pay, any problems, eviction and would you rent to them again.
