Resident Screening
We work hard to find the right tenant for your investment
How We Screen Your Rental Applicants
Tenant screening is arguably the most important step in ensuring that your rental property is occupied by reliable, responsible tenants. Our resident screening service is designed to go beyond the basics to give property owners comprehensive insights into who is applying to live in their property. By vetting each potential tenant thoroughly, we help you avoid the risks associated with unreliable renters, such as late payments, property damage, or disruptive behavior.
Once an application is received, we begin our extensive screening process by conducting a series of checks that are designed to provide a full picture of the applicant’s history and suitability as a tenant. One of the first checks performed is a credit report review, which provides insight into the applicant’s financial responsibility. This step is essential for ensuring that the tenant has a history of paying their bills on time and maintaining a stable financial situation, reducing the risk of missed rent payments.
In addition to a credit check, we also conduct background checks, including criminal and sex offender registry searches. This ensures that your property is protected from individuals with concerning criminal backgrounds, giving you peace of mind about the safety and security of your investment and other residents.
Our screening process also includes eviction history reports, which are critical for identifying tenants who may have had issues with previous landlords, such as failure to pay rent or causing excessive damage to properties. This step helps ensure that you are not taking on a tenant who is likely to cause similar issues in your property.
Employment and income verification is another key aspect of our screening process. By verifying the applicant’s employment status and income, we ensure that the potential tenant has the financial means to consistently meet rent obligations. We check to make sure that the applicant’s income meets the recommended threshold, typically around three times the monthly rent, to further reduce the likelihood of late or missed payments.
Finally, we also reach out to previous landlords for references. This step helps paint a picture of the tenant’s rental history, behavior, and overall reliability. Landlord references often provide valuable insight into how a tenant treats a property, how they interact with neighbors, and whether they adhered to the terms of their previous lease.
Once all of these checks have been completed, we compile the results into a detailed report, which is then presented to the property owner for final approval or denial. This process not only ensures that the most reliable candidates are selected but also helps minimize risks associated with renting to less-qualified tenants.
By offering a comprehensive resident screening service, we help property owners make informed decisions that protect their investments. Our detailed reports provide all the necessary information to ensure that only the most qualified applicants are considered, making it easier for you to secure long-term, responsible tenants who will take care of your property and meet their lease obligations.
