Management's Tenant Criteria

Selecting the right tenants for your property is crucial. Our tenant screening process ensures that your property is in good hands. We conduct thorough background checks on every applicant, verify their employment status, and review their rental history.

Our multi-step tenant screening process is designed to identify reliable and responsible tenants. We adhere strictly to the Fair Housing Act, ensuring equal opportunities for all applicants. This dedication to fairness and transparency sets us apart in the property management industry. Our rigorous tenant screening ensures your property is respected and well-maintained, providing you with peace of mind.

Ensuring The Best Possible Tenant Experience

Our renter criteria have been meticulously formulated to gauge potential tenants based on various factors. These include credit rating, which helps us understand their financial responsibility; income stability to ensure they can meet rent payments consistently; and eviction records to check for past rental issues. We also review criminal history for safety concerns, confirm employment to validate income sources, and examine the thoroughness of their application to assess their attention to detail and sincerity. This comprehensive evaluation helps us ensure a safe and reliable community for all residents.

650 Credit Score

In order to ensure timely rental payments, our requirement for a credit score has been set at 650 or above. However, we understand that financial situations may vary, so we offer alternatives for lower scores such as the option for a co-signer. Our goal is to provide equal opportunity for all individuals seeking a place to call home.

2.5x Income/ Rent Ratio

One of the key elements of our rental application process is ensuring that our tenants have a stable income. To ensure this, we require a minimum income to rent ratio of 2.5x or greater. This industry-standard requirement is in place to help us ensure our tenants can comfortably afford their rent payments and reduce the risk of default.

No Prior Eviction History

We prioritize providing safe and secure housing options for our tenants. To ensure this, we have a strict policy of not renting to individuals who have a prior eviction history. This is to protect our properties and the peace of mind of our tenants who deserve to live in a stable environment without the fear of an uncertain future.

Criminal Background Checks

Ensuring the safety and wellbeing of our tenants is a top priority. That’s why our application process includes a thorough criminal background check to screen for any potential red flags. By doing so, we can give our tenants peace of mind and maintain a safe and secure living environment for all.

Employment Verification

Our top priority is ensuring that our rental application process is thorough and professional. As part of our rigorous screening criteria, we verify that each potential renter is currently employed through detailed employment verifications. This ensures that only qualified individuals who can fulfill their rent obligations are accepted as tenants in our properties.
