Tenant Screening Done Right: Ensuring Fairness and Compliance

How to comply with laws, practices, and screening processes to find the best tenants.

Ire you risking your investment by not thoroughly screening your tenants? I want to discuss a critical aspect of property management—how to screen your tenants. Many methods exist, but it's essential to approach this process cautiously to ensure fairness and compliance with fair housing rules.

Importance of Fair Housing Compliance. When screening tenants, it’s vital to follow fair housing guidelines. Straying from these rules can lead to unintentionally steering tenants away, which can be illegal and unethical. At Peace of Mind, we take this responsibility seriously, so we use a third-party resource that specializes in identifying the best tenants while adhering strictly to fair housing regulations.

Our Screening Process. Our process begins by evaluating critical factors like income, credit score, and rental history. We set clear criteria, such as a minimum credit score and a solid rental history, ensuring that all potential residents are treated equally and fairly. We apply the same standards to everyone regardless of who you are or where you come from.

"We focus on placing top-quality residents on your property while treating everyone respectfully."

Ongoing Fair Housing Practices. Even after receiving an application, we continue to follow fair housing rules. We conduct a thorough review that includes a credit check, rental history, and background check. By partnering with the best resources, we ensure that our screening process is current and that every applicant receives fair treatment.
 
Why We Call Them Residents. 
At Peace of Mind, we don’t just call them tenants; we call them residents. This reflects our commitment to treating everyone with the utmost respect. We aim to place top-quality residents in your property quickly while maintaining fairness.

Tenant screening is essential for protecting your investment and ensuring fairness. At Peace of Mind, we take this responsibility seriously by following fair housing laws and applying consistent criteria to every applicant. We focus on placing top-quality residents on your property while treating everyone respectfully and maintaining compliance. You can rely on us to manage your tenant screening professionally and carefully.
