Tenant Screening Process

[Brandon Chung]

Hi everyone, my name is Brandon Chung, and I am a first-year student in college. I plan on buying a house in 12 months and house-hacking near campus. This would be my first experience with landlording, and I would love to hear how everyone screens tenants, as I have heard that improper screening can lead to nightmares down the road. Thank you, and I appreciate all input!

I suggest you start with a book or two and go from there. Can't be covered here. Managing Rental Properties by Heather and Brandon Turner is as good as any. Top left on this page or on Amazon. Maybe google and see where that takes you. Much will depend on your location etc. There are legal guides and considerations to follow. All the best!
