BiggerPockets.com — Dec 04, 2008 — You probably already know that screening your applicants is not only a smart way to defray costly situations involving evictions, but it’s necessary in today’s market. As important as screening is, it’s equally important to choose a screening firm that really works for you and that knows what type of screening aspects of an applicant’s background are relevant. What should you do or not do if you want to avoid a lawsuit? What do you hope to achieve from screening? Duplicating your competition’s screening techniques is easy, but does that really seek to answer questions pertinent to your properties? Each property is different and as such each property should have its own residential selection criteria. Duplicating other company’s selection criteria may not be an effective way to meet your company’s objectives in managing various properties. Not all sites are the same and not all screening is equal.

As a Property Manager professional, you will want to know certain things such as:

How has the applicant paid past landlords?
How much income do they earn?
What is on their credit report?
Have they ever been evicted?
Have they caused damages beyond normal wear & tear?
Were there unauthorized people living in the unit?
Will they be a good neighbor?
