References can come from anyone that they know doesn't mean that it's reliable. There are some here that run credit checks and let their potential renters know that they will be running one. Then there are some Who rely on gut feelings when they meet the person. It's a personal choice. Have had the same long-term renter since the day that we purchased our house it was a gut feeling and have to say it was the best decision ever. But that doesn't mean that you're going to get as lucky as we have been. I think you should do what makes you feel comfortable.
