My husband and I are planning to rent out our house. We have a few prospectvie tenants but we really want to do a back ground check to make sure htye don't have a criminal past. We want to somewhat know who we are renting to.

What is the best way to go aobut a back ground check? Will the person be notified that one was ran on them? We intend to tell them we have the option of running one.
