Can I include minimum Qualification criteria on a rental ad ?

Victor Lee

Hi All -  Wondering if I can include my criteria on the listing so only qualified tenants reach out or would I be breaking any rules? Driver is I want to save time in showings and during pre-screening.

So is below language fine to include or am I breaking any rules here? 
_________________________

Qualifications

- More than 600 Credit Score.

- Written Proof of rent payments for last 6 months

- Proof of current employment (last 3 months of pay stubs). If self-employed, transcripts of federal returns for last 2 years.

- Monthly Income = 3x monthly rent

- No prior evictions

- Tenant responsible for all utilities (Electric, Gas, Trash, Sewer and Water)

- Pets might be allowed but evaluated on a case to case basis. Will have a one time pet non-refundable fee of $250 and $30 per month per pet fee

Thank you so much like always.

You can definitely add your criteria on your listings, as long as you are not breaking any housing rules. It's better to be upfront with applicants and get better quality leads, rather than wasting your time weeding out the unqualified ones.
