Tenant Selection

Our rigorous tenant selection process is integral to making your investment property a success. We employ the following procedures to procure high quality tenants:

• Prospective tenants are accompanied by a Realty Shop & Property Management staff member or a licensed Realtor during a typical showing.
• Require prospective tenants to fill out a detailed application, providing employment, income and past rental history.

• Require a picture ID from each prospective tenant(s).

• Contact current and previous landlords for rental references, if necessary.

• Obtain a current credit report, rental reference with eviction notification, and criminal background check including sex offender database on the prospective tenant(s).

• After screening we will provide you with a detailed snapshot of the applicant(s) for you as the owner to make a decision on the applicants in accordance with Fair Housing Guidelines.
