Newbie to Screening Long Term tenants shady screening

[Rachelle Bisaillon]

Hi All

I am a STR expert but new in the long term rental game. My previous LTR were professionally managed and Im trying to do it myself this time.

Questions: 

What kind of application do you have them fill out?

What tenant screening tools do you use? Currently using SmartMove and Im not impressed but dont have anything to compare it to.

What are your requirements?

What documentation do you ask for as proof they can pay?

*I had someone apply for my rental but there were two fraud alerts that popped up on one adult, 2 collections and 4 late payments on the other though the credit score is 725. They also are quick to want to move in which makes it seem like they are jumping from place to place. Something seems off. They both work for themselves so I suspect that the income proof might be untraceable.
