And so, how could one create a tenant screening to vet out all the less than quality applicants?

You may be able to do a screen shot of the Venmo payments and text it to her.   5 minutes. 

Make sure all the lights work, all the TV's work, all the supplies are there, etc. 

You want to make sure you have good amenities, tv, coffee, good furniture.

As the owner you need to be providing cable TV, wifi, not to mention a house full of furniture and household goods.

I cross reference everything that was stated to me on the initial phone screen to what I uncover in my investigation into their history and background.

Hey everyone,Pretty soon I will need to release a property and haven't had to screen clients before (property already had tenants).

So a quick question for those of you who use any type of background/credit check/eviction/criminal history check for screening tenents.

Since I am not quite the owner of the property, what are some things I should look out for as far as screening tenants go?

We have a place that we have some section 8 applicants and I'm wondering since the rental subsidy voucher is only under one of the renter's name, does the other tenants who are 18 and up be subject to the same screening process credit + background check as the main tenant who will be paying rent from the voucher?
