Post: How Do You Ensure Quality Tenants?

What does the past landlords say? What is their previous rental history like?
I suggest using a service like Mayistay. It's difficult to see how a tenant will be after screened and signing a lease. However, a lot of concerns can be mitigated with looking at their past rental behavior in a lot of different settings. Most, if not all screening tools do not include a comprehensive rental screening with a renters prior rental rating like Mayistay.

The government will pay on time all the time once it is set up completely. However renting to the wrong section 8 tenant can cause you BIG TIME.

I stand corrected. I do run a check on any occupant on the lease over 18 years old.  I have had single women rent the place and then bring in their deadbeat boyfriends as live in until they are caught.

I think it is very important to get the actual rental history of the prospective tenant before renting out the property.

You have to be careful here. You must have objective rationale for turning them down. It helps if you have verifiable past landlord references.

What about their past rental behavior? Which one do you have the most favorable information on based on their past rental history and not what they say.

I suggest you be patient. Getting the wrong tenant in your property can be a nightmare and cost you thousands.
