Tenant Screening
Finding the right tenant is about more than just filling a vacancy — it’s about creating a positive, long-term living experience for everyone in the community. We prioritize quality applicants who are reliable, respectful, and a good fit for our homes.

As part of our screening process, we review each applicant’s credit history to get a full picture of their financial reliability. This includes looking at payment patterns, overall credit health, and how they’ve managed their obligations in the past. A strong credit history shows consistency and responsibility, which helps ensure rent is paid on time and the tenancy runs smoothly. By taking this step, we build a community of residents who value stability and accountability.

As part of our process, we review records for any past evictions and take time to understand the circumstances if one appears. This step helps us make informed, fair decisions while prioritizing applicants with a stable track record. By doing so, we build a community of residents who value responsibility and contribute to a positive living environment.
Hearing from past landlords provides an important perspective on an applicant’s rental history. We reach out to confirm reliability in paying rent, how the home was maintained, and whether the applicant was a respectful neighbor. Strong references show that an applicant values their living space and community, which helps us place residents who will treat their new home with the same care.
