How We Screen Your Rental Applicants
We prioritize finding the ideal tenant for our vacant units over rushing to fill vacancies. We believe it's crucial to focus on quality rather than speed. Investing time upfront to select the most suitable tenant creates a positive experience for everyone involved, rather than one that is filled with stress and frustration.
Our thorough tenant screening process goes beyond a simple credit check and employment verification. We delve deeper, gathering extensive information through:
- Credit Check
- Debt to income ratios assessment
- Criminal history check
- Verification of employment
- Checks for eviction history
- Contacting previous landlords
By conducting a comprehensive screening process, we aim to ensure that we secure the best possible tenant for your rental property, promoting a positive and hassle-free rental experience.
Application Process
In the application process, we request potential tenants to complete a detailed application form, providing essential personal information vital for a comprehensive evaluation. This includes thorough documentation of their employment history, specifying current and previous positions held, as well as income verification to ensure financial stability. Additionally, applicants are required to furnish details regarding their rental history, specifying previous residences and landlords, along with any relevant experiences or commendations.
Screening Methods
We assess the applicant's financial responsibility through credit checks, looking for patterns of late payments, defaults, bankruptcies, or outstanding debts. Additionally, we verify tenants' income to ensure they can afford rent, typically through pay stubs, employment verification letters, or tax returns. Moreover, we contact previous landlords to review payment records, behavior as a tenant, and any past lease violations or property damage.
Background Checks
We conduct comprehensive background checks for criminal history, eviction records, and other legal issues to assess potential rental risks. Additionally, applicants are asked to provide personal and professional references to vouch for their character, reliability, and suitability as tenants. Furthermore, we utilize specialized services to aggregate information from credit bureaus, criminal databases, and eviction records for thorough applicant evaluations.
