How We Screen Your Rental Applicants

Placing a qualified tenant is more important than placing one quickly. While we strive to rent your property without delay, we focus on securing quality renters who will pay on time, care for the home, and fulfill the lease. Choosing a qualified tenant up front prevents costly turnover, late payments, and unnecessary stress down the line.
Our screening process goes far beyond a simple credit check. We take a comprehensive approach, evaluating:
- Full credit history
- Employment and income verification
- Debt-to-income ratios
- National eviction search
- Criminal background check
- References from previous landlords
In addition to in-depth background screening, we also prescreen applicants during initial inquiries. We supply prospective tenants with clear directions, answer early questions, and personally meet them on site during scheduled appointments. This personal touch allows us to assess interest and qualifications before moving forward.
Our proven method ensures only the most qualified tenants are approved, setting the stage for a positive, long-term rental experience.
