YOUR Standards for Screening Tenants...?

[Joe A Warner]

Good Evening!

I am closing on my first property next week! After about 1-2 weeks of work I'll be ready to rent it out. I am working on the finishing touches to prepare myself to enter the wonderful life of being a landlord.

I have my list of standards my tenants must meet in order to rent my property, but I am curious as to what everyone considers the perfect tenants to be?

What standards do you set for your tenants?

Criteria depend on the class of your property: B+ class Tenants are very different from C-.

D class might have checking accounts, cars, credit history or their FICO score is below 500.

If your Rent $500-600/mo, the requirements will differ for these with $1500-1800/mo rent
