We get credit report, paystubs, copy drivers license for sure I would like to get last tax return but doubt they would go that far.

Also get every adult that is living there to sign not just one person.

Our broker also told us to video before turning over because if the house was trashed they R subject to great criminal charges.

Hopefully we can find nice folks that R responsible and pay.

Criminal charges are probably not an option unless you could pinpoint which person actually did the damage.
