I am in MN and our state has a free website that lists all counties and all court activity for both criminal and conciliation courts. I found it on google and it was very helpful.....it lists things like evictions, judgements from former landlords or from Credit cards, etc. So if your tenants have ever been sued in your state it will be on there. Our state also lists things like traffic tickets, divorces, child support cases, etc etc, which I don't feel would automatically disqualify a renter.

I searched the Wisc site because we are close to the boarder, but their site was hard to use.......and didn't find much info, so your experience may vary!!
