How We Screen Your Rental Applicants
We Work Hard To Find the Right Tenant for Your Investment
We strive to get your investment rented quickly, but it is important to get the RIGHT tenant versus the FAST tenant! Often people think they need to do a quick credit check and verify employment, but there’s more to it than that. Our screening process includes thorough background and credit checks on each potential tenant to assess the likelihood the tenant will fulfill the lease terms and responsibly care for your rental property.
We have found that an effective tenant screening process will answer four critical questions to determine whether an applicant is the right tenant for a property.
Is the applicant who they say they are?
- Government Issued Identification
- Social Security Number Verification
Can the applicant afford this property?
- Pre-screening Income Qualification
- Income Verification
- Employment Verification
Does the applicant have a history of paying their bills?
- Credit Score
- Previous Address Tenant History
- Public Records Search
- National Eviction Search
Will the applicant be a responsible resident and take care of the property?
- Previous Landlord Verification
- National Criminal Search*
- National Sex Offender Search
- International Terrorism Database Search
Important Note: All applications are processed without regard to the race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin of the applicant and follow Fair Housing Guidelines.
*Criminal checks only look into convictions.
