Water in basement, found hole alongside foundation. How to fill?

Title.

Just bought a house, immediately got water in the basement. Dealt with the drywall and black mold in basement. Was planning on running down spouts away from the house, but then I saw this hole and it’s exactly where most of the water was in the basement.

How would you fill it? Sand? Stone? Dirt? All 3? Concrete? Don’t want to make it worst, but want to see if we can stop water from coming in before storms roll through.

[Landlord US-PA] Looking for standard rental application form?

My wife and I recently bought a house in the suburbs and have met a couple who we would like to rent our home to. We’ve familiarized ourselves with the local laws about how to legally rent our property.

Is there a standard form or application that someone could share with us to further vet the applicants?

Also, is running a credit check worth it? Our initial plan was to do a credit/background check combo, but was also considering reaching out to their current landlords to discuss them as tenants and confirm their timeliness of payments and see if they’ve had any issues.

Thanks in advance and feel free to share any other considerations for first time landlords.
