How We Screen Your Rental Applicants

Anything worth doing is worth doing right, and that includes approving a qualified applicant! Spending extra time up front to thoroughly screen renters before a lease is signed creates a positive experience for everyone, while rushing the process can lead to stress and frustration. Our dedicated leasing team focuses on delivering the best fit for your property, not just the fastest solution.
Many believe tenant screening is as simple as a credit check and employment verification, yet there’s much more to it. Our detailed Fair Housing compliant screening process digs deeper to ensure your investment is better protected. We gather comprehensive information, including:
- Credit Check
- Debt to income ratios
- Criminal history check
- Employment verification
- Eviction history check
- Past residence verification
Our process doesn’t rely solely on credit scores; we take a complete, in-depth look at every applicant using our strict propietary TenentClear scoring criteria and verification procedures. This proven approach has proven to be extremely successful in placing reliable, responsible residents who protect your property and provide long-term stability. How successful? While past performance is not a guarantee of future results, out of thousands of residents placed over more than a decade, we have evicted less than 0.02%, while the average for professional managers is over 5%... and the average for self-managed landlords is over 8%!
