FINDING RELIABLE TENANTS

THE PROBLEM:

Poor tenant qualification can lead to rent delays, property damage, increased vacancies, increased legal liability, and a greater likelihood for eviction.

THE SPECIALIZED PROPERTY MANAGEMENT SOLUTION:

Proper tenant screening from the beginning can save you a great deal of time, headaches, and lost revenue down the road.

• Minimize the risk of tenants who do not pay and property damage with a thorough background check.
• Make sure you comply with discrimination laws and the fair credit reporting act throughout the screening process.
• Require an application for every tenant over 18 years of age.
• Verify a combined tenant income of at least three times the rent rate.
• While poor credit is increasingly common in this economy, avoid evictions and judgments and request written explanations of late payments.
• Verify at least the past two years of rental history with previous landlords and ask if there was any major damage to the last house or apartment.
• Finally, do a criminal background check to screen out those with a history of drugs or theft, and especially  violent or sexual offenders.
