Tenant Screening is very important. We use underwriting screening criteria which has proven to lower tenant turnover and reduce other common tenant problems. The screening “Decisioning” process was developed on an underwriting model of risk management, defining attributes of the potential renter as to their ability to pay rent at a defined level and predictability that they will pay rent on time. The power of our system is that it will work in both up and down markets. R.E.A.L. will pre-screen prospective tenants who come into the system. If they pass the screening process, the tenant will be given a “Pre-qualified Tenant Card” for a price range of housing. This card certifies and warrants that the tenant has met certain standards, including background checks for criminal felony, sexual predator conviction, where available checks for eviction history, provides a scoring system based on these and other data bases including credit report. The landlord reports when generated from this information the system generates a recommendation to lease, lease with conditions, decline, or an "inconclusive" notice, that there is inadequate information available to make a recommendation one way or another. For the Tenant, it empowers them while shopping for a rental property home. For the landlord, this card is like a gold level credit card, because when the tenant passes our screening criteria. Start screening now! |

The single most important issue in renting residential properties is doing a thorough background check on the prospective Tenant. The old adage of "One Bad Apple" could not be more true here. Without doing adequate screening you open yourself up to numerous perils. There are a number of screening services available online, but not all screening services are equal. It is important that you use what we call a "Decisioning" model to ascertain the ability and attributes of the prospective Tenant. These decisions are based around three basic criteria: - Ability of the Tenant to pay the rent, generally the rent should be no more than half their income, the lower the ratio of rent to income, the better chances of there not being any problems should they run into financial problems like losing or changing jobs.
- Criminal/Sexual Predator Back Ground Checks: It is important to find out if the tenant has been a convicted Felon, Sexual Predator Conviction or has a history of evictions.
- Credit Worthiness; getting a FICO score, with a review of their credit history shows if the Tenant has been conducting themselves in a acceptable manner. The better the credit scores, the less chance of defaulting on rental payments.
- Verifying the person of record, along with identity/Social Security number being valid.
Smart Tenant Screening empowers the landlord to establish the underwriting criteria for their respective properties. Certainly the quality and location of the rental unit play a large part in this process. The more valuable the asset the more carefully screened the tenants should be, as you have a lot to lose in not only rent, but potential damage and other legal grief in getting a bad Tenant out. Many people are too trusting, good values thinking that the world is like them. When you meet people that present themselves well, it is easy to accept them at face value and rent to them without checking their rental history, credit or criminal background. All you have to do is pick up a newspaper in any major city and the reality of problems with drugs, sexual predators and people over stepping their financial abilities because they want a nice place to live. We are not here to pass any judgements on these people, we feel that it is prudent to avoid potential problems and within the Smart Tenant Screening service, it makes an unbiased recommendation to "rent", "rent with conditions" (such as first and last month's rent along with possible higher deposits) or deny an application. If there is conflicting information of record versus what is on the application and we can not make a decision, as above we will tell you that the there is a problem and as a result the recommendation is "Inconclusive", and needing more specific information from the tenant. The process empowers the owner/manager to take the recommendation or not, and/or make personal phone call to verify employment, or do a search on the internet for information on the person being screened. These are all prudent steps in doing a background investigations. You will find that the SmartTenantScreening.com report is fast and sets the basis for a business relationship between the landlord and the tenant; certainly a prudent step in circumventing potential problems.
