No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
E-RENTER is a site for landlords to screen potential renters but you will need the renter' s consent.
I would negociate the seller pay for the check with the tenants permission of course.
The easiest way to get a quick credit check is to go through a website that offers a background check or screening service. In my experience http://www.myrental.com is the quickest and easiest option.
