Here’s a common process:1) Pre-Screening (Before Showing the Property)✅ Inform renter of basic qualifications such as income, credit score, pets, move-in date, etc..2) After the Showing (Before Approving the Application)✅ If they’re seriously interested, have them submit a rental application + background check authorization at the same time.✅ This avoids wasting time screening unqualified tenants.3) Before Lease Signing (Final Step)✅ Run the background check before approving the tenant, so you can verify:Credit history & income stability Eviction & rental historyCriminal background (if applicable in your state)Final ThoughtThe best time is after the showing but before lease approval—this ensures you’re only screening serious applicants while minimizing wasted time and costs.
