Tenant Screening Criteria

Jay Levy

Posted

We have had some problems recently relying on tenant credit score, background checks and rent to income ratios as the main criteria for select tenants. 

I'm interested to hear if anyone has any thoughts on what other factors they use when evaluating tenants along. If anyone uses a tenant scoring system any insights into how that works would be great.  Ideas on the best tenant applicant portals would be great also.

Thank you

Ask for referrals from their past property managers / landlords!
