Rigorous Tenant Screening in Bonita Springs

Applications
Our rental applications are online and easy to access. Prospective tenants can submit them with supporting documentation uploaded.
Tenant Credit
We review credit, looking at more than just the credit score. While screening, we want to see a history of on-time payments.
Income
Income is the most important indication that a tenant can afford the rent we’re charging. We ask for pay stubs, tax forms, and bank statements.
Rental History
A positive rental history tells us that a tenant can be trusted to follow the terms of the lease agreement.
References
We ask for current and former landlord references to get an idea of how a tenant performed.
Fair Housing
Our screening process is strict, but it’s also fair and objective, complying with all fair housing laws.
Consistent Income
Tenants who are qualified and well-screened will pay rent on time. Fewer late notices. Lower eviction risk.
Lease Enforcement
Placing good tenants makes lease enforcement much easier. We balance service with accountability.
Tenant Retention
Helping you avoid expensive turnovers and longer vacancies with better-qualified tenants.
Expert Bonita Springs Tenant Screening Begins with Our Standard Rental Criteria
To keep our screening process consistent and well-documented, we create a standard set of rental criteria for each property. Interested tenants can decide for themselves whether they’ll qualify to rent the home. This saves them money on application fees and it saves us time. We only want to review applications from qualified residents who meet our criteria.
Our standard rental criteria will include a minimum credit score, a requirement for no recent evictions, and income levels that are consistent with both best practices and local market norms. Every application we receive is measured against the same set of standards, ensuring our screening process is not only thorough, but also fair. The result is a well-screened, well-qualified resident.
