Tenant Screenings
Landlords and property managers, do you know who you are renting to? There are far too many cases within the legal system pending due process, because their tenants weren’t properly and thoroughly screened to validate their past history. The result of the legal process and fees to evict someone from your property can be very time consuming and costly to you. How do you collect for damages done to your property or monies due to you?
C U CLEAR investigate several factors, including rental history, credit history, criminal history, judgements, liens, evictions and income (employment). We contact and verify the management or the owners of the prospective tenant’s previous places of residence and obtain all creditable information needed for you to make the right choices. C U CLEAR then compares the results of the screening to its rental regulations to determine if a person qualifies to sign a lease and forwards recommendation to our clients. For example, one regulation might be that the tenant must earn three times the rent amount per month. The rental regulations must be in compliance with state and federal laws on fair housing.
The purpose of tenant screening is to minimize risks to the property management and to other tenants. By checking a potential tenant’s rental history, for instance, management can find out if a potential tenant has had disputes with other management, if the potential tenant was consistent with payments and how well they kept up the rented property and interacted with other tenants. By checking credit history, the management can decide if the potential tenant may be a financial liability.
The C U CLEAR’s Tenant Screening service can assist in eliminating those prospective tenants that are not within the standards and deserving of renting from you. As a property owner you should take every step possible to ensure that your potential new tenants are properly screened to protect your personal property investment.
