I think you'll be ok with reporting to a credit bureau, etc., if you reveal in the rental application that that's what you intend to do if there is a problem. Get the applicant to sign off on the credit check advisory. And always get legal counsel. It's usually cheaper up front than trying to pay a lawyer to fix something after the fact.
