Minimum Requirements to pass Screening

[Luke Jackson]

What are your minimum requirements set for an applicant to pass when screening possible tenants?  Such as credit score, verifiable income compared to rent amount, clean background, etc. 

Thanks,

Luke Jackson

Since we do not charge the screening fee we take a bit more liberty in keeping our criteria generic.  We require 2X income, no evictions, and no level 2 or 3 sex offenders.  The rest is based on our point system.

Our Criteria:

We do not deny housing for race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap, sexual orientation, marital status, or familial status.

We do deny housing to individuals:

• when the application is not complete or accurate
• where there is not sufficient income/resources to pay rent and live
• where there is poor prior tenancy: evictions, violations, damage to rental property, poorly handled move outs, amounts are still owing to landlords or utilities.

Criminal activity is at our discretion depending on severity, number of convictions, and how long ago.
