Placing Great Tenants in Your Rental Property

At Healdsburg Property Management, we have been leasing, managing, and maintaining investment properties long enough to know that the tenant living in your property has a huge impact on your profitability and your peace of mind. 

 And that’s why we’re so careful about placing tenants. 

 We use strategic marketing to attract and identify well-qualified renters, and then we screen all applicants fairly and objectively in order to find the tenant who meets our criteria and can be trusted to contribute to a pleasant and stress-free tenancy. 

 Let’s make sure the right resident is moving into your home.

High Standards and High Value: Tenant Placement in Windsor with Healdsburg Property Management

Z

Income Verification

The most important part of any screening process is ensuring the tenant has the means to pay the rent on time every month. We ask about income on the application, and then we ask for verification of that income. We want to see more than just a job; to qualify for our properties, we need to see a consistent source of income that adequately covers the monthly rental amount as well as other bills and payments the tenants may be responsible for.

Credit & Tenant Debt

Perfect credit is hard to come by, and while we don’t expect perfect credit scores, we do want to see responsible financial management in the tenants we place. Our qualifying rental criteria may include a credit score that serves as a threshold for who we will approve and deny, but we’re also digging a little deeper into the credit report to see how debt and payments are managed. We don’t want to see that there’s money owed to former landlords or utility accounts in collections, for example.

Evaluating Rental History

Well-qualified tenants have a positive rental history, with good references from current and former landlords. We use the screening process to place tenants who do not have prior evictions, are not involved in lawsuits with their landlords or buildings, and who can demonstrate a steady, reliable history with rental homes. Longer tenancies make us happy; we want to place residents who are committed to the property they’re renting.

Fair Housing Laws

Placing tenants within the requirements of the state’s strict fair housing laws is important to us. Our process is fair, objective, consistent, and transparent. Applicants know exactly what we are looking for before they pay the application fee and turn in their paperwork. We are sensitive to the laws around Section 8 tenants, residents with disabilities, and the new requirements around screening applications in the order in which we receive them. We protect your property not only from unqualified tenants, but from legal mistakes, too.
