Question about former tenants?

Is there anyway to check and see who was the tenant in this house before us?

Reason I ask is that we have had several vehicles stop on the street and look at the house for a couple minutes. None of them have been marked in anyway but they have ranged from a beat up old chevy van to a newer Chevy truck.

I'm somewhat concerned that the previous tenant might have been mixed up in some bad things and people are coming looking for them. If possible I'd like to get their names and maybe check into their criminal records.

    I don't think you can find out unless mail comes for them. The house could be for sale but people told not to bother the tenant.

    It seems that you may be concerned about any criminal activity that might have taken place there in the past. Contact you local police department. Ask for an incidence report pertaining to your new address. It will only cost you about 10 to 15 cents a page!

    You can check with the police and see if they were ever called to that address. If they ask you why you want to know, just tell them that are several vehicles stopping and you're worried about your safety.

    Don't go there. Ignorance is bliss and will save your legs from being broken.

    If you're renting, you could ask the landlord - if they were in any trouble, he/she would possibly know.
