Short Virtual Meeting Wed Aug 11: How to Screen Tenants Using an Applicant Qualifier

View Calendar
08/11/2021 12:00 PM - 08/11/2021 1:00 PM
This presentation will review our applicant qualifier in-depth. Best practice for screening tenants includes using an applicant qualifier. This objective point-scoring system ensures that your very expensive rental property will not be rented to the wrong tenant based on "gut feel". Also, this guarantees applicants equal housing opportunity without discrimination. We will walk through each box, what documentation you should expect from an applicant, and what changes you may want to make to suit your business. Emphasis on:
  • How to think about criminal records
  • How Section 8 should be scored
  • Is a credit score really worth so much?
  • What matters most in a housing history
  • Why you should almost never listen to their current landlord
  • And much more!
Attendees will leave knowing how to rank applicants for rental housing, pick the best renter, and document your rental application decisions.

She is an attorney and a title agent for First American Title Insurance Company and WFG in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Attorney Roubicek Greenman has a solo practice with a main office in Watertown and additional office in Downtown Boston. Her practice consists of a broad range of real estate-related legal matters, including commercial and residential landlord/tenant disputes, condominium association representation, general real estate litigation and commercial and residential real estate closings. Attorney Roubicek Greenman has a well-respected reputation for aggressively advocating for her clients' goals and ensuring beneficial outcomes at a reasonable cost. She was among the first attorneys to take legal action in response to the unfunded eviction moratorium. Part of this presentation will be given by Doug Quattrochi, Executive Director, MassLandlords, Inc. Doug was a founding member of MassLandlords in 2013. He became the association's first Executive Director under new bylaws in 2014. Since then, he has scaled the organization from a core of 160 members in Worcester to approximately 2,000 dues paying businesses from Pittsfield to the Cape, and from an all-volunteer team to approximately 20 full and part-time staff plus 50 volunteers. Doug has been instrumental in advancing democratic governance mechanisms, including score voting for policy priorities and a staggered and democratically elected Board of Directors. Doug also oversees the RentHelper spin-off, which is expanding access to electronic banking for those of us who are unbanked or underbanked. Prior to MassLandlords, Doug held leadership roles in various Massachusetts startups, two of which are still operating.
