Tenant Screening

Never skip a step when evaluating rental applicants.

A Structured 12-Step Vetting Process

The tenant screening checklist walks you through every step of evaluating a rental applicant — from initial inquiry to lease signing. No step is left to memory or habit.

  • Verify identity, income, and employment before showing the unit
  • Run credit and background checks with documented consent
  • Check rental history and contact previous landlords
  • Collect and file all required application documents

Why Consistent Screening Protects You

Inconsistent tenant screening is one of the most common Fair Housing violations — not because landlords mean to discriminate, but because they apply different standards to different applicants. A consistent checklist used for every applicant is your best protection.

  • Apply the same criteria to every applicant, every time
  • Create a documented paper trail for every decision
  • Reduce risk of costly evictions by screening more thoroughly upfront
