Hi Nadia, here's a few things to consider:Credit Score: Set a minimum, like 600-650.Income: Require 3x the rent in monthly income.Employment: Verify stable employment.Rental History: Check for positive rental references.Background Check: Make sure they don't have any criminal history.Security Deposit: Typically 1-2 months' rent.Pet Policy: Decide if you'll allow pets and set fees if needed.
