Strategies for stringent tenant screening - min credit score ?
I have a duplex with a high-end two bedroom unit and while it is priced accordingly I want to be very selective on my potential tenant pool. Has anyone ever listed a minimum credit score on their rental application and if so is this indeed legal ? Minimum income and is this legal ?
EX: Min Credit Score 750 would eliminate many applicants - you could then choose to lower your criteria if you received a great applicant that was at 725, etc. Essentially setting the bar very high initially prior to any applications...
