Did the tenants pay their rent on time?
Were there any disturbances?
Was there any damage when the tenants left?
How long did they live there?
Why did they leave?
Occasionally, we see landlords who got positive answers from the former landlord, then found out that the person they were talking to wasn't actually the former landlord, but just the tenant's friend, posing as a landlord. You could search the registry of deeds to determine if the person you are talking to is really the landlord. Also, sometimes, a landlord will give a positive reference just to get rid of the tenants. There are companies that will run a tenant's history for $35 - $50. That's probably a wise investment.
