Most provinces and states have services where you can do credit checks. There is also a company called TVS (Tenant Verification Services) that run credit checks (tenantverification.com). There's always a fee for credit checks, and we typically pay somewhere between $7 and $15 per applicant. If you go through a one-time service like TVS you'll pay twice that.
