Part I: Tenant Screening Overview

Tenant screening skills are increasingly more important. If you cannot screen adequately, you may be better off leaving your units vacant. We discuss increasing pass/fail thresholds on written applicant qualifiers, and using such qualifiers before you list a unit to evaluate whether to list at all.

We then explain how to check credit, criminal, and eviction history. Which sources can we check? What do the reports mean?

This segment reviews all of these factors, as well as gives a comprehensive look at discrimination protections. We show you how to protect your assets while also giving equal housing opportunity to all.

Under fair housing in particular, we cover age discrimination and emotional support animals. Attendees will learn when you can take a photo ID and how to verify requests for reasonable accommodation.
