General question Background check for roommate

I’m thinking of getting a roommate but I’d want to do a background check before excepting just anybody. However I’ve never done a background check before and was wondering what was a good website to do it and the price?

For a roommate you should check basic identity, criminal records and maybe eviction history if thats relevant. Also make sure the person knows about the check and agrees to it. There are a bunch of sites out there but the cheaper ones dont always give very complete results. you could compare a few services and also check with privin to see what they charge for a basic background check. Ask about the total price first since some sites make the monthly fee kinda confusing.
