Smart Tenant Screening,
Protected Investments
Choosing a tenant without proper screening can create problems for your rental property. Here are some common risks:
Without consistent screening and documentation, landlords may face fair housing concerns or disputes over rental decisions.
Poor tenant selection can lead to early move-outs, lease violations, and adds more costs for advertising, cleaning, and finding replacements.
Poorly screened tenants may create conflicts, threats, or other situations that make landlords and other residents feel unsafe.
Applicants who do not meet your rental requirements can create problems, increase management work, and make property management difficult.
Tenants who do not take care of the property may cause more damage, leading to higher repair and maintenance costs.
Without proper screening, you may rent to someone with a history of unpaid rent or difficulty making payments on time.

Finding the right tenant can help you avoid costly problems such as lost rent, repairs, and legal issues.
We conduct several key checks to help you evaluate each applicant, including:
We’ll contact past landlords to learn about an applicant’s rent payments, property care, complaints, and lease history. Late payments, evictions, or damage may indicate red flags.
We verify an applicant’s employment, income, job title, and start date to make sure they can comfortably afford the rent and keep up with payments.
We check an applicant’s credit background for past payment issues, unpaid accounts, bankruptcies, and other financial concerns.
A criminal background check can reveal relevant convictions and records, including violent crimes, theft, misdemeanors, drug offenses, and property-related crimes.
We also check court records for past eviction filings, including cases an applicant may not have disclosed during the rental application or screening process.
A sex offender registry check helps identify whether an applicant appears on local, state, or national registries, including relevant registration details and locations.
When an applicant submits a rental application, here is an overview of our screening process:
We collect basic applicant details, including name, SSN, date of birth, contact information, and previous addresses.
Our screening team searches national, federal, and state databases for criminal, eviction, civil, and sex offender records.
We review the report results to assess the applicant’s financial risk and compare them with your rental criteria.
Our team combines the screening results into a clear report with weighted scores and a leasing recommendation within one to two business days.
We check government watchlists, such as OFAC and SDN records, to identify applicants who may present legal or compliance concerns.
We verify rental history, salary, job, and other provided information through landlords, employers, and third-party verification services when needed.
