Tenant Screening

We work hard to find the right tenant for your investment

How We Screen Your Rental Applicants

Lakeland Tenant Screening

We strive to get your investment rented quickly, but feel it is important to get the RIGHT tenant versus the FAST tenant! Spending time up front and finding the BEST tenant for your rental creates a good experience all around, versus one that is stressful and frustrating.

Oftentimes people think they just need to do a quick credit check and verify employment but there’s more to it than that. Our high quality tenant screening process digs deeper. We gather extensive information on the following:

  • Credit Check
  • Employment verification
  • Debt to income ratios
  • Criminal history check
  • Eviction history check
  • Previous landlord calls

Our screening process is not just based on a credit score only - we take a comprehensive look at the overall applicant. This process has proven to be extremely successful.
