Tenant screening

Tenant screening is the process landlords use to evaluate potential renters before leasing a property. It involves checking details such as rental history, credit scores, employment status, and references to ensure the applicant can reliably pay rent and maintain the property. This helps landlords make informed decisions, reduce the risk of late payments or damages, and find suitable tenants who will respect the property and abide by lease terms. Proper screening balances thoroughness with fairness, ensuring a transparent process aligned with fair housing laws.
