Screening Prospective Tenants

Prospective Tenant Screening Services

Turning vacant properties into monthly income checks is our top priority but we would rather the property stay vacant an extra week or two than fill it with a problem tenant. We pride ourselves on our ability to screen prospective tenants to find just the right one for your property.

All tenant candidates are pre-screened by our credit department. We have access to all three credit bureaus as well as criminal and eviction background history. In addition each candidate is required to provide us with three personal references, two former landlords and a current employer all of which will be contacted prior to leasing.

Once we have found a suitable tenant one of our experienced brokers will meet with the tenant to go over the lease in detail. This gives us a chance to highlight the areas of the lease that deal with the tenant’s contractual obligation and clarify any misconceptions the tenant may have regarding what will be expected from them. This initial meeting lays the groundwork for future dealings with the tenant and sets a precedent for the entire relationship. We have found it invaluable in reducing future tenant problems over the term of the lease.
