A thorough tenant screening process helps you avoid costly problems and keeps your property performing. It also leads to stronger, longer-term tenancies.
What a careful screening looks at
- Background checks.
- Income verification. Does the applicant earn enough to afford the rent?
- Credit history.
- Rental history. Call previous landlords and ask about payment and property care.
