Tenant Screening We want great tenants just as much as you do! Our comprehensive tenant screening and credit investigations help to ensure this. Initial Tenant Screening Once an ad is placed our team will screen all inquiries regarding the property and begin to set appointments with prospective tenants to view the property and provide additional documentation for further consideration. Potential tenants are required to provide the following items: Complete Rental Application and identity verification Copy of credit report (Less than 60 days old) Employment and income verification 2 month s of personal checking account statements 2 most recent pay stubs Rental History and personal reference verification Our screening process includes contacting current employers, following up with references, and interviewing past and present landlords all which are provided by the potential tenant. We will then compile all of this information in a comprehensive format in order to empower our clients to make the best decision on a tenant for their property. If the prospective tenant currently lives within our coverage areas we will conduct our initial interview with them in their current residence. This gives us an opportunity to do our best to provide you with tenants that will respect the home they are renting.
Tenant Follow up and Lease Preparation Once a tenant has been approved our team of property managers will negotiate and prepare a lease agreement for the Landlord and Tenant to approve. Lease Negotiation and Approval Once a tenant has been approved, appointments are made to review the lease agreement in depth with the new tenant. This gives our team the opportunity to answer any questions and carefully explain the tenant s responsibilities as well as our company s standard policies and procedures. Each party will receive a completed rental agreement and all necessary disclosures. Security Deposits and Insurance For additional protection, appropriate security deposits are always collected upon completion of a lease agreement. The amount of deposits are based on the monthly rental rate. Applicants with pets are required to pay an additional deposit if a pet is approved for the property. We ensure that the property owner has contacted their insurance carrier and a copy of the most recent insurance policies are requested and kept in our office file. We also discuss and suggest that each tenant maintain a Renter s Insurance policy in order to reduce potential claims against property owners. Move In Move Out Move-In - Prior to Tenant s Occupancy, we conduct a complete inspection of the property and document it s current condition, including pictures as necessary. We emphasize the expectations of the tenants and landlords which we find helps develop a good working relationship and encourages the tenant to take pride in their new home. Move Out Upon receipt of Tenant s notice to vacate, the owner is notified and we provide a complete inspection and documentation, which also highlights the cleaning procedures required of the tenant. We will then procure any estimates needed for damage during the tenant s occupancy period and discuss further actions with the owner.
