A solid screening process should include:✅ ID Verification – Confirms applicants are who they say they are.✅ Judgments & Liens Search – These no longer show on credit reports, so a separate check helps uncover unpaid debts.✅ Eviction & Rental History – Past evictions are a huge red flag for payment issues.✅ Criminal Background Check – A nationwide search can help catch risks.✅ Verified Income Data – Checking actual bank deposits prevents relying on fake pay stubs.If you’re not getting any prequalification forms back, it might be time to simplify the process or use a better screening tool.
