Tenant Screening Protects Your Rental Property in Northern Kentucky

FLORENCE, Ky. - July 22, 2014 - PRLog -- One of the best ways to protect your rental property as a landlord is to evaluate prospective tenants and assess the likelihood that the tenant will fulfill the terms of the lease or rental agreement and will also take great care of your rental property.

Property Management Companies call this Tenant Screening, which is essential for landlord and tenant success.  Tenant screening usually helps you arrive at a decision as to whether to approve the applicant, approve the applicant conditionally (such as requiring an increased deposit or cosigner) or deny tenancy.

The tenant screening process usually starts by having your prospective tenant fill out a rental application, and in some cases pay an application fee.
This application will give you access to personal information about the prospective tenant such as name, social security number, date of birth, address, employment, criminal and eviction history, etc…  The rental application commits them to agreeing to certain terms and conditions to authorize procurement of a tenant screening report or a tenant reputations report, which includes the tenant's rental history, criminal background check, and credit report.

This is also a good time to get copy of a valid government issued photo identification card such as a driver’s license.

If you’re a landlord or property manager and you are not screening tenants, the best time to start is now.  Tenant Screening helps you avoid problem tenants and helps you protect your investment property. Stop taking chances by not screening your tenants and be effective in finding good tenants that will pay their rent on time, every time.
