The Importance of Tenant Screening

The Importance of Tenant Screening

Finding reliable tenants is crucial for maintaining the value and integrity of your rental property. At SPM Residential Services, we understand the importance of thorough tenant screening. Our process ensures that we place responsible and trustworthy tenants in your properties, creating a positive rental experience for both the property owner and the renters.

Screen Tenant Applications

Our tenant screening process begins with carefully reviewing tenant applications. All potential tenants must fill out an application. This collects personal information like driver's license number, social security, date of birth, and current and past addresses. 

During the application process, we also complete an eviction history check. If a tenant has a service animal, we use a third-party pert screening to verify documentation. By thoroughly screening tenants in this first step, we reduce the risk of potential issues down the line.

Run a Credit Check

Running a credit check is another critical part of our screening process. We examine applicants' credit histories to assess their financial responsibility and ability to pay rent on time. 

We do not recommend you use a tenant-provided credit report, as they may only show you what they want you to see.

Verify Income

Verifying an applicant's employer and income is essential to ensure they can afford the rent. In the application process, we verify the tenant's income based on the current employment. This verification helps ensure that tenants can meet their financial obligations, providing peace of mind for property owners.

Tenant screening is an essential component of successful property management. By screening tenant applications, running credit checks, and verifying income, we ensure that we place dependable and responsible tenants in your rental properties. 

This meticulous process not only protects your investment but also contributes to a positive rental experience for all parties. At SPM Residential Services, we're committed to making the tenant selection process as effective and seamless as possible.
