Tenant Screening Process

Prospective tenants are required to complete a rental application form. This form collects essential information, including personal details, rental history, employment status, monthly income, references, and any additional documentation that supports the application. Please ensure that all fields are accurately filled out and all required documents are attached.

A credit check is performed to evaluate the applicant's financial responsibility. We review the credit score, outstanding debts, payment history, and other relevant financial information. A strong credit history is preferred, but we understand that not everyone has a perfect score. If you have concerns about your credit, please feel free to provide an explanation with your application.

We conduct a comprehensive background check to ensure the safety and security of our tenants and properties. This includes criminal history, eviction records, and any past legal issues. Our primary focus is on serious offenses and patterns of concerning behavior that might impact the safety of our community.

Rental history is a critical component of our screening process. We contact previous landlords to verify rental payments, property care, lease compliance, and overall conduct as a tenant. A positive rental history is a strong indicator of a good tenant.

We require verification of employment and income to ensure that applicants can comfortably afford the rent. This includes reviewing pay stubs, employment letters, or bank statements. We typically look for a monthly income that is at least three times the rental amount, but exceptions can be made for strong applicants.

Personal and professional references help us gain further insight into the applicant’s character and reliability. Please provide references who can vouch for your trustworthiness and suitability as a tenant.

If you have pets, we ask that you provide detailed information about them, including breed, size, and any training they have received. Some properties have restrictions on certain types of pets, and additional deposits may be required.

Once all screenings are completed, we will evaluate all the information collected. We strive to select tenants who demonstrate financial stability, responsible behavior, and a good fit for our community. Selected applicants will be contacted to discuss lease terms and finalize the rental agreement.

Our screening process is conducted in compliance with all applicable laws, including the Fair Housing Act. We are committed to treating all applicants fairly and without discrimination based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, or disability.
