Tenant Screening 101

Improve Your Tenant Selection with the Latest Screening and Fraud Prevention Techniques

If you've never looked at a tenant screening report and you're unsure of what a rental background check consists of, or how to evaluate and select the best applicant, join us for this important new webinar and we will teach you how you can improve your tenant selection process and make only the best selection.

These days, of growing concern, application fraud has become a major aspect of the tenant screening process and it has become a growing risk for multifamily housing providers across the U.S. As application fraud continues to grow, it has become increasingly difficult for property owners and managers to determine who they are actually dealing with, if documents being given to them by applicants like paystubs or bank statements are fake or real, and ultimately if a sound decision to rent or reject an applicant is being made.

While those of us in the rental housing industry are experiencing a significant rise in fraud, current tenant screening methods have stepped up their game and today's latest screening techniques can help you to avoid renting to a problem tenant that ultimately costs you a ton of money to deal with. Rental application fraud is a concern among property management companies, particularly for those applications that are filed online. Many property owners and managers today are extremely vulnerable and uncertain how to react to the continually growing ranks of fraudsters out there seeking a quick payday of relocation money.
