I also give my screening criteria up front and let them ask them if there is anything we need to discuss before they pay the fee and this seems to motivate them to self disclose which saves us both time and money if they would be rejected anyway.  

@Luke Hoffman you are NOT adequately screening your potential tenant if you do not require a social.

The state approved forms are public.https://realestate.utah.gov/re...On the left of the screen you will see a section called "Forms"  expand that and select "State Approved Forms"

Don't let people reside in your rentals unless they've been screened, approved, and are on the lease.

@Mike McKeown - I have a short-term rental in Chicago, which is a 2 flat so I rent one apartment out as normal and use the other as an AirBnB. 

As it is fully rented and I don’t anticipate tenant turnover, I am leaning towards not hiring a property management firm to manage the duplex, screen tenants etc .

For instance, I could screen my tenants and make sure I don't put sketchy people in there.

Check into fair housing - it's my understanding that you have to screen every applicant in the same manner.
