Benefits of Property Management Tenant Screening:
- Minimize Vacancy Periods and Maximize Rental Income: Our comprehensive screening process identifies both qualified and unqualified applicants, allowing us to place the lowest risk available tenant in your property. This translates to minimized vacancy periods and a more consistent stream of rental income, helping our property owners increase the value of their assets.
- Reduce the Risk of Late Payments and Evictions: During the tenant application process, we screen for credit score and history, criminal background, verify their past rental tenancy history, employment verification, and confirm rent-to-income qualification. We also ask every applicant, whether they do or do not own a pet, to complete a pet application. Speaking of pets, did you know that an estimated 23 million households added a new pet during the COVID-19 pandemic? Approximately 50% of rental tenants have pets. Read our blog to find out the benefits of having a pet-friendly rental property!
- Safeguard Your Property from Damage: Responsible tenants are less likely to cause damage to your rental property. The past rental verification step of our comprehensive tenant screening process helps identify applicants who maintained satisfactory property conditions at their previous residence. We also conduct an interim inspection of the property during lease renewals.
- Providing You Peace of Mind: Our Jacksonville property management services empower you to make informed decisions about your rental property. When you choose Spectrum Realty for property management, you’ll benefit from our tenant screening matrix developed by Spectrum using years of experience and best industry practices.
