How We Screen Your Rental Applicants
Renting your property to the right tenant is vital. You need someone you can trust—someone who will respect you, your property, and their neighbors.
At DeSantis Property Management, we take this responsibility seriously. We thoroughly screen prospective tenants to ensure they can pay rent on time, every time, and will care for the space. When you work with us, you can rest easy knowing your property is being placed in qualified, reliable hands.
Just as importantly, we are committed to strictly adhering to all Fair Housing laws and guidelines. Every applicant is evaluated using consistent, objective criteria, ensuring a fair, transparent, and non-discriminatory screening process.
While some believe a quick credit check and employment verification is enough, we know there’s more to it. Our high-quality tenant screening process takes a deeper, more comprehensive approach. We evaluate:
- Credit check
- Employment verification
- Debt-to-income ratios
- Eviction history
- Criminal background (in compliance with applicable laws)
- Previous landlord calls
Our screening process goes beyond a single number—we assess the full picture of each applicant using consistent standards. This approach has proven to be highly effective in placing responsible tenants while maintaining full compliance with Fair Housing requirements.
