So my mom is renting out her condo and she wants to run a credit check on the potential renters, however we have no idea what service she should use. A quick google turned up a bunch of websites that say theyll do it for about $30-40 but I am unsure of which service to use.
Does anybody have a suggestion?
So far Ive looked at:

These are basically the first 4 websites that I found through my quick googling, but Im sure there are way more out there. Has anybody done this before? Any help would be greatly appreciated as we're a little out of our element here.
If it matters, we're in California.

Remember to check up on your legal obligations regarding security deposits and walkthroughs of the rented space with the renter. They're there to protect both of you, and evading them will cause you a hell of a lot of grief if the renter has any sort of head on his or her shoulders.
But e-renter is the better one to go with. You definitely need to check prior evictions and credit.
