Hello BP people,
As I'm working to put together my process for tenants selection there are a couple of questions I would like to have your feedback:
- If you have a couple as potential tenants, do you make both of them to complete the application? If yes, why?
- I'm thinking to charge an application fee, should I do this as soon as I receive the application form or once I have review that the potential tenant meets the minimum requirements?
According to the NOLO Landlord's Legal Guide, there are 6 important checks to be performed on a potential tenants. Do you do all of them? Some of them? Which one would you recommend or not recommend?
- Check references
- Verify income and employment
- Obtain credit report
- Verify bank account information
- Review court records
- Megan's law state database check
Thank you so much for your help!
