Tenant screening is the investigation of potential tenants by the management of an apartment complex or other rental property. The results are used to investigate whether the individual is a suitable candidate for tenancy.

Companies review several factors during a rental screening, including:

• Credit history
• Eviction history
• Income verification
• Rental verification
• Criminal history
• Social Security Number (SSN) Trace

By using a tenant screening system, Texas property management companies can limit their liability, reduce delinquent payments, and avoid costly eviction actions. Screening your potential tenants is fast and easy, and the costs can be directed to the applicant.

Protect Your Rental Investment with Tenant Screening

Today’s automated tenant screening reports are easy to access and easy to read.

In a matter of minutes, you can determine whether your rental applicant is telling the truth, or if you have a potential problem tenant on your hands.

Basic renter credit checks protect your property from tenants who try to hide bad credit or other problems in their rental background.

By cross-referencing reports, you can catch discrepancies that can only lead to one conclusion — this applicant would not make a good tenant.

When you check a potential tenant’s credit, you can determine how your applicants have treated other creditors—a telltale sign of whether they will pay rent on time.

You’ll also know if a candidate is using someone else’s information to try to get access to your rental property.
