Screening tenants for your rental
When screening tenants for your rental property, what factors should you take into consideration during the screening process? I know that verifying a tenants potential income history, criminal history and credit score are crucial aspects of the screening process but I wanted to explore if there were any other aspects to take into consideration during the tenant screening process.

In addition to the usual tenant screening tips suggested, I recommend completing a social media search on all occupants that are going to reside at your property. You will be surprised and possibly shocked what you find (it never ceases to amaze me what some people put out there). Also, I always visit the prospective tenant's home before I rent to them. Very few people do this, but I've found this to be the best gauge on how you property will be in three months.
