What score do you require a tenant to have to lease with you?

    The credit score we require with our portfolio is 600. If they are below 600, but they have 3x the income and no landlord/tenant complaints then we would ask for last month's rent. But a safer credit score depending on the property would be 650 or higher. But you can set that depending on how strict you want or should be. Just be consistent.
