The fee covers a complete credit report w/ Fico ($15 each) and the criminal records check ($9-$15 depending on how indepth we go. ) I make two copies of the report-- one for my records and one for the applicant.Also, I let everyone know that if we don't run the reports, we'll return their money. Never had anyone complain so far~ Hi Terry :)

I like the "respectful and courteous" category.I've never charged a tenant application fee. Doesn't that scare off a lot of potential tenants? Or, does it just weed out the ones you don't want to apply anyway? Outstanding list! I like the “respectful and courteous” category.

That's got to be one of the most complete written screening criteria that I have seen. I like the idea of looking at the simple things, like did they show up on time and have the application fee, etc as part of the "points" process. Thanks for some great food for thought!Steve Boorstein LandlordBusinessInsider.com Connie,
