Our tenant screening process

As a landlord, it can be difficult to find a tenant that will care for your home as you would. The tenant screening process is one of the most important steps in getting your home rented. Finding the wrong tenant can cost you thousands of dollars whether it be repairs or eviction fees. We take pride in our tenant screening so that we get good paying tenants that take care of the property. In order to do that, we take these steps:

Prepare a list of comparable rentals to establish a competitive rental price.

Assist the homeowner in preparing the property to get a quality tenant. This may include painting, repairs, or upgrades if necessary.

Advertise the vacant property to 100+ websites.

Show the property to interested parties prior to having them apply to ensure they like it and want to proceed with the application.

Require applications from each adult that will potentially be living in the unit.

Screen the applicants by running a criminal background check, credit check, verify job and income, check with previous landlords and eviction history. As long as it is possible, we will also visit the tenants current home to ensure they take care of it.

Once an applicant has been selected, we will execute a lease agreement and all necessary disclosures with them.

Prior to move in, we will do a walkthrough with the tenant’s. We will document the condition of the property on a written form and by taking photos of the whole property.

Collect the first months rent and security deposit prior to the tenant taking possession.
