Screening tenants before showing the property

Paul Z.
Posted

Hi everyone :)

I posted an online ad and got some messages.

Should I screen the applicants before or after showing them the property?

If before, what questions would you ask? Would it be by speaking on the phone or messaging on the ad website?

Should I have them fill out a full application before showing the property?

Thanks so much!

Paul

definitely pre screen by letting them know upfront what the landlord requirements are (income, rental history,ect..) if you get that out before showing you may weed out people right of the bat and save your energy for more qualified prospects.
