I haven't, but can see where this might not be a bad idea. Certainly would give me a bit more piece of mind staying there for a month, knowing I am not camping with registered felons or sex offenders.

I understand a background check more as they're trying to improve the type of user and possibly the safety of the place. That sounds good to me unless the application process was too time-consuming.
Cash or a debit card may be great for month one, but what about the next month, and the next, and the next? As previously posted, many states have laws that protect the tennant from eviction once the stay has exceeded 30 days. Lose a site for six months to a bad tennant, all the while furnishing them utilities because it is illegal to shut them off , while your eviction proceedings inch their way through the courts will sour you on taking any chances with a long term tennant.
