We help you find the perfect renter
Welcome to OKC Home Realty Services, your trusted partner in property management and tenant screening in Oklahoma City. We understand that finding the right tenants is crucial for protecting your investment and ensuring a hassle-free rental experience. Our comprehensive tenant screening services are designed to help you select reliable tenants, minimize risks, and maximize your rental income.
Renting without proper screening leaves you open to potential fair housing lawsuits if you accept or deny applicants without documentation and a consistent process. It also increases the odds of issues like eviction lawsuits.
Our professional screening digs deeper than just a basic background check. We verify several important details like
We'll contact past landlords to get details on an applicant's payment history, the condition they left properties in, any issues or complaints, and whether they followed the lease terms. Late or unpaid rent, evictions, and damages reported are all red flags.
To determine if an applicant truly makes enough money to afford your rent long-term, their employment is verified along with salary, hire date, and position. This helps prevent rent non-payment.
A credit report uncovers how well the applicant manages their finances and pays bills on time. It flags bankruptcies, collections, judgments, and other credit problems that could translate to them not paying you either.
Searching public records nationally reveals convictions that directly impact renting safety, like sex offenses, violent crimes, and drug charges. Misdemeanors are also screened which may involve theft or property damage.
For peace of mind, we make sure none of your applicants are listed on sex offender registries in the area or nationwide.
On top of checking with past landlords, we search court eviction records too to catch any filings the applicant may have omitted.
Rental properties are investments, so you want to protect that investment by only renting to qualified tenants who will care for your property and pay rent on time. Here are the most common reasons to use a professional tenant screening service:
Performing thorough background checks yourself can be extremely time-consuming, taking away from other important landlord responsibilities. Services make the process much more efficient.
Screening services know fair housing laws and screening best practices to help ensure your process remains legal and non-discriminatory. Doing it yourself risks non-compliance.
Services have access to many more records than you can obtain as an individual landlord, like county court records, sex offender registries, and credit reports you may not otherwise see.
You can trust us to take care of your property. We’ve got the best labor rates and warranty coverage in town, so stop looking elsewhere!Emotions can influence subjective decisions. Services provide quantitative data and flag issues to consider, taking some bias out of your decision-making.
Thorough screening helps curb risks like rent non-payment, property damage, and legal issues that stem from improper tenant selection. It’s an investment that pays off.
While there is a cost to use screening services, it’s far less than the fees, repairs, and lost rent you’d incur from a problematic tenant you could have weeded out.
When an applicant submits a rental application, here is an overview of our screening process:
We collect identifying information such as name, SSN, DOB, contact details and previous addresses from the application.
National criminal databases plus eviction, civil, and sex offender records are searched across federal and state repositories.
Prior landlord references, employers, and any additional contacts are verified via phone and third-party asset/income verifiers as needed.
We review credit reports including payment histories and credit scores to assess financial responsibility and risk.
Government watchlists are crosschecked to prevent renting to potentially dangerous persons.
All results are compiled into a clear, weighted scoring format with a leasing recommendation within 1-2 business days.
You will review the report and approve or decline applications accordingly.
