Pre-Qualification before viewing Rental Property

[Ursula Leake]

Hello All!

I wanted to get a feel of how many Landlords/Property Managers make prospective tenants fill out a pre-screening app prior to viewing the rental property. If this is something you do have you found it effective? Do you find that most people won’t feel it out? What’s your experience with it. Do you think it’s helped with landing better quality tenants?

Well usually pre-screening application help weed out the limited interest prospects or you can have a set of questionnaires before you setup a tour with them. After the tour, if they're still interested, and they match the your criteria/standards, you can send them a credit/background check which typically cost $35-50 fee being non refundable. The fee will allow them to be more committed and more skin in the game.
