@Carl Rowles we screen all tenants exactly the same, but know several of our local competitors cut corners to attract more S8 applicants - waiving application fees, security deposits, etc.You can try to weed out applicants that have poor "house maintenance" skills by doing surprise zoom calls and asking them to show you their kitchen, bathroom and another room.
