Our Criteria
Finding the right tenant is the single most important step in protecting your investment. That’s why our screening process is thorough, consistent, and fair, applied equally to every applicant.
- Credit History — We review each applicant’s credit report to assess financial responsibility and identify any patterns of delinquency or default.
- Income Verification — Applicants must demonstrate stable, verifiable income that meets our income-to-rent ratio requirements, typically at least 3x the monthly rent.
- Rental History — We contact previous landlords to verify payment history, property care, and overall tenancy, giving us a clear picture of how an applicant will treat your home.
- Background Check — A comprehensive background check is conducted on all adult applicants to ensure the safety of your property and the surrounding community.
- Employment Verification — We confirm current employment status and length of employment to ensure income stability going forward.
Our criteria are applied consistently and in full compliance with Fair Housing laws, so you can feel confident that your property is being filled responsibly and legally.
Why Tenant Screening is Important
Your rental property is one of your most valuable assets. The tenant who lives in it has a direct impact on your income, your property’s condition, and your peace of mind. That’s why tenant screening isn’t just a checkbox in the process. It’s the foundation of a successful rental.
A great tenant pays on time, respects your home, and holds up their end of the lease. A poorly screened tenant can mean missed payments, costly damage, drawn-out eviction proceedings, and months of lost income while the property sits vacant.
We’ve seen both sides of this firsthand. We know how the right tenant can turn a rental property into a reliable, long-term investment, and we’ve seen how the wrong placement can set an owner back significantly. Our screening process exists because we take that responsibility seriously.
You shouldn’t have to take that risk on your own. We do the due diligence so you don’t have to.
