TENANT MANAGEMENT

SCREENING
One of the more difficult tasks in property management is screening for the most appropriate tenant for your property. The best tenant is one that will stay the longest and uphold all terms and obligations of the lease.

We run credit reports on all qualified applicants, and perform employment verifications, landlord verifications, credit verifications, and bank verifications, prior to notifying you about potential candidates.

SELECTION
After verifying all possible information from an applicant, we then present only qualified candidates that would be an appropriate candidate for your residential, commercial, or vacation property.

Based upon our recommendations, you select the tenant from a pool of applicants.

We meet with the applicant(s) and go over what they need to move in. Depending upon the requirements, we may request a combination of the following: first month's rent, last month's rent, full security deposit, lock replacement fee.
