It’s not a small job but establishing your rental criteria will help you share your expectations and requirements to applicants. The appropriate rental criteria can also standardize and simplify your tenant selection process and will help you narrow down your minimum requirements as a landlord ranging from rental history and background checks to pet and parking policies. Establishing and following a rental criterion protects both the landlord and the tenant and is a critical part of a thorough tenant selection process.
As a landlord, you already have a lot to take care of. When it comes to screening prospective tenants, be prepared with the right questions so you can seamlessly move through the process of determining if the applicant is qualified. Creating and following your rental criteria will ultimately save you time, money, and frustration. You’ll be glad you undertook the task when you discover how effective it is in finding the right tenants for your rental property.
Some landlords will share their rental criteria checklist upfront with prospective tenants. This allows them to communicate key criteria before spending time meeting and screening prospects who won’t qualify. Generally, if a prospective tenant understands your expectations up front and realizes they cannot meet your minimum criteria, they will focus their search on other properties that may be more suitable.
Our property management expert, Patti Widget from Widget’s Way, will provide you with the advice you need to help you to establish and follow a strong rental criterion that will not only allow you to find great tenants, but also protect you from being accused of violating fair housing and other regulations. Attending this webinar will help you to screen your tenants properly, and to avoid problem tenants and courtroom situations that can turn against you – we guarantee it!
