doing a credit check is a smart thing to do as a landlord, but the result shouldnt be the factor that makes your decision for you.
Those reports do not show past rental history.
in my opinion, someone might have bad credit due to a bad CC or personal loan here and there, but would never fuck up their living situation. not paying those CC or personal loan, or paying them late wont result in that person living on the streets so they might not take those payments are serious.
Credit checks are a good reference tool, but thats all it is. a reference tool.
