Checklist for the Tenant Screening Process.by Don Conrad Whether you're buying groceries for the family, building a website, or placing tenants in your rental, things seem to go better when you have a way to document your process. Once I discovered that this was true, I decided to start using a checklist to get me through my tenant selection process. I now use this checklist for each and every new tenant that I place in my rentals. This checklist has made my life a lot easier and saved me from missing critical information or skipping an important step. The checklist I'm about to share with you is designed to be used from the time you meet with the tenant prospects to fill out the application, and continue through the lease signing process. A couple areas may seem unfamiliar to you. If so, please make reference to my book, "How to Find that Quality Tenant", for an explanation. (If you have trouble locating this book, visit my website at http://www.findthatqualitytenant.com)Checklist: part 1-- This part of the checklist is to be used by you when the applicant fills out the initial paperwork. Do not leave the showing until all required items are checked or verified that they are not applicable (NA).
Checklist: part 2-- This part of the checklist is for when you are at home or in the office, and are processing the applicant's paperwork. Do not rent to the applicant until all required items are processed.
Checklist: part 3-- This last part of the checklist is to be used at the lease signing. This is your last chance to get everything signed and organized the way you want it before the tenants take over your property. Don't neglect using the checklist on this step.
