How do you screen an STR tenant ?

Anita Z.
Posted

Just getting ready to post my 3 bed/2 ba home as an STR in San Diego. I'm wondering how do you all screen your tenants? I believe Airbnb and Vrbo dont do credit checks is this right? If so, how do you trust you're getting a quality tenant that is safe?

I don't screen them. I charge a good bit for my properties, that screens them.

Do hotels run background checks on guests? No they don't.
