We have created a comprehensive tenant screening process that naturally eliminates bad tenants. Our aim is to secure tenants that will meet all rental requirements throughout the duration of the lease and will take care of the property. This process is the foundation of the property management experience for our partners and their teams.
When a tenant contacts us, they enter the following meticulously tested and proven 21-step screening process:
- Application Fee
All occupants over the age of 18 need to submit and pay for an application.
- Pre-screening Call
This is the 1st step of verification, and necessary to check for any red flags.
- Identity Verification
This step in the process helps rule out identity theft or errors in application.

All Applicants must provide a proper identification
