How to Screen Tenants Using an Applicant Qualifier
This presentation reviews 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 walk through the entire qualifier, 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!
Learn how to rank applicants for rental housing, pick the best renter, and document your rental application decisions.
